Blogs are a useful way to share information with fellow educators. Thinking about my future as a teacher, I see how this blog and continued reading and posting can be helpful. As I gain experience and develop ideas in my own classroom, I can share those on my blog so that others looking for tips can put those ideas to use. In the same way I can search for and utilize tips and ideas other teachers, psychologists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists have shared on their blogs. This network helps educators stay connected, updated, and involved in what is currently happening in the Special Education world.
As a teacher, I would also teach my students the advantages of blogging. I may show them that when researching a certain topic, it may be useful to check out blogs related to that subject. I could also encourage older students to create their own and share resources with each other, with my supervision. Before having students create their own blogs, I would teach them appropriate use of blogs and what type of information should and should not be posted, because I can predict how students could abuse this resource.
