Ways blogging can benefit early childhood educators
There are a few ways I believe blogging can benefit early childhood educators. In the area of curriculum I could post links to websites for determining which learning style a child may be prone to. These sites give techniques for improving cognitive development through focusing on the child's multiple intelligence. A teacher could post ideas to practice at home to reinforce the area of skill development. This could serve to strengthen the home-school bond. I believe blogging could be the most efficient way to communicate with parents and administration. Parents or administrators could log on to the blog to be informed of current theme, academic approach, and events. Parents could vote on upcoming field trips, snack ideas, or party ideas. Teachers could poll parents to get an overall sense of how controversial topics might be accepted or approached. Currently, I write a parent letter, each family recieves one and a calendar of events, and I post reminder notes. I have all this information posted on my door. Still information is forgotten and communication brakes down. The answer to this conflict could be blogging. Blogging is conveniently accessible due to most people possessing laptops for their careers and wireless internet.
