thing 3 blogging

I could see myself using blogs for two purposes. The first would be to communicate with other art teachers within my district to share what we are doing in class, offer tips, ideas, and share what I have learned in various staff development, etc., and encourage others to do the same. Right now, we occasionally do this through e-mail, but this could be taught during one of our staff developments to teach everyone how. The second blog I would use is to share news with students and parents. I think it would be fun for this to be a project for my advance art class to create an art newsletter for parents/students to let them know what we are doing in class, or upcoming events, etc.
