A Bit About Me...

I am Virginia Grant, a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and currently a student at University of South Alabama. I am pursuing a career in Elementry Education. Teaching has always been a dream of mine, my mother was a teacher and inspired me to want to do the same. I am a wife and mother of twin daughters. Continuing my education while managing a family at the same time has not always been easy but I feel that in the end it will make me a better teacher. I look forward to my graduation and the beginning of my career as an educator.

Using A Classroom Blog

Using blogging as a classroom tool is a beneficial way to increase communication between parents, students, and teachers. Establishing a classroom blog that is regularly updated gives parents a chance to easily check in on what is going on in the classroom. Blogging is easy, convenient, free, and can be accessed from any computer that has internet access. Blogs can be used to post class writing, pictures, and presentations. Parents and students can comment on the class blog and view what is going on weekly in their child's class. However, since not all parents have access to internet on a regular basis, blogging should never be the only form of communication.
