FACS Blogs

Teachers are using blogs many ways in the classroom today. Blogs can serve as classroom management. The teachers can post handouts, power points, and many other things the students will need for the class on the blog. This will create a more efficient way of getting clear communication through the classroom. The classroom will also be more organized because if students forget their copy of the homework they can go home that day and print off a new one. Blogs will greatly improve the classroom management.
Blogs also allow for students and teachers to discuss things outside of the classroom. This can make the conversation go deeper on the academic level. Every student will have the opportunity to write their opinions where in the classroom you cannot call on every single student on every discussion that you have. With students posting all their thoughts they will learn from each other because what one might think another will have brought up that point and they can learn new points of view. Blogs offer a great deal of discussions.
I could not find a blog from a teacher in the Family and Consumer Sciences field, however, I did find a great blog that would be useful for Family and Consumer Teachers. It is called Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher Blog. Family and Consumer Sciences teachers can post on this blog to help each other by posting on this blog to give each other new and interesting information to help make their classrooms better on a daily basis. This would help me in my classroom because I can view resources that other Family and Consumer Sciences teachers are incorporating in their classroom.
