How can a blog be beneficial to an elementary school classroom?

A blog can be very beneficial because it gives the parents an opportunity to see what your classroom is all about. They can see how you run your classroom and how you plan to teach your students. It can give the parents reassurance that their students will be in a good classroom that has a good learning environment.
When posting pictures on your blog, never use _____________.

 When posting a picture on my blog I should never use the child's full name. It is for safety and privacy reasons. Never, in any case, should I use their full name.
What should you do before ever posting a picture of a student on your blog?

Before I post a picture of a student on my blog I need to make sure that it is for a good reason, and I need to make sure it is okay with their parents. I need to get permission from them before I mention their name or put a picture of them up on the blog.
What is important to consider when choosing a blog name?

When choosing your blog name, it is important to consider what the parents will be looking for. The parents of your students need to be able to find it easily and know that it is for their children's classroom and teacher. It needs to be an appropriate name for a teacher blog. It should also be as simple yet effective. It will be a lot easier for the parents to find it in case they have problems or questions!
