I have been exploring the use of both a personal education blog to communicate ideas I come across with my fellow music educators as well as a blog for my classroom to communicate day to day happenings. I have found the classroom blog to be an extremely effective communication tool. I am able to post pictures, videos, links to advocacy resources, and much more in a short amount of time. My goal is that parents get an inside glance at the overwhelming amount of material that we cover throughout the year.
There are so many user friendly blog sites to utilize these days so my advice to you is pour a cup of tea and just start experimenting with one that speaks to you! I had a sixth grade student comment the other day to his class, "Did you see what those first and second graders can do? I saw it on the music blog!!" This alone made my day and my blogging project worth it.....
Keep me posted with your blogs and online communication tools/ideas @ generalmusicclassroom@gmail.com
