Thing Three

This is my first blog sight and I am not real comfortable having my thoughts permanently "posted" for the whole world to see. I tend to be a perfectionist and like to revise things to death. After reading the information on blogging and checking out others' blogs, I am still trying to wrap my head around how it would work in my specific classroom. I can see it as a tool for communicating to parents about daily activities, but how does that not become one sided (especially when it is public)? I am still struggling with other questions like: What are some good ways to blog for math content? Can I trust my students to use it properly (even with rules)? How can I effectively use bl0gging to truly enrich my students education and not just for the sake of using technology? I know some articles have addressed these issues, but I am not ready to jump in head first. Hopefully as we go through this process, I can resolve many of my questions and concerns.
