I can think of many ways to use a blog in my classroom but here are the main 3 that come to mind:
1. Have my newsletters posted here for easy reference for parents and for me to refer to when parents ask me questions. It gives a pretty good recap of each week so it could also help me remember what I did the previous year.
2. I would make an a folder with different apps and websites that would be useful for the parents of my class to use to help them support their child in this new language (new the parent and the student). I have a few which tells the sounds of letters and says syllables to help in pronouncing words. I currently post YouTube videos of the different song we sing in class for them to sing at home too. They love this! I could add these links in addition to the websites.
3. When I start spelling tests, I could post the words here. I also found an app for iPhone that makes flashcards of whatever word I want and I could post that link in addition to the words as a way to practice.
