My students love to blog, especially my current dance team officers. We have a team blog that the officers and I can manage, allowing line members to only comment. The dance team officers use the blog to communicate with the rest of the team if and/or when there is a change in practice time, location, uniform change, reminders and even chat about what they are wearing to school the next day. Haha - Girls! It works out perfect, no one has an excuse of not receiving a text message or email. We always remind them that if they can facebook / instagram everyday during and after school, then they can certainly check the team blog. I also welcome parents to the blog. It helps keep them updated with team events, performances, parent volunteer and payment deadlines. Some parents have a hard time getting their teenage daughter to communicate with them (surprise, surprise). Educational leaders use blogs for communication
purposes, collaborating and sharing ideas, updating and staying in touch with faculty, students, student alumni, parents, and important/key people around the community. Blogging is the new fad!!

What a great use of technology and communicating with your students! In the past I was a dance team sponsor, but as I teach middle school, there were many instances where our girls were 'grounded' from the internet or their cell phones. Otherwise, that would have worked perfectly!
ReplyDeleteAwww! Do you miss it? Not the grounded part, but just dance in general? Thank you for commenting. Have a great week!

What a great way to use blogging! I coach basketball, and I am sure my kids would love some other way to talk back and forth. I think I might get with my assistant coach this week and create a Girls' Basketball Blog. I know my administrators are always trying to get us to keep community members abreast of everything going on with our organizations. Thanks for sharing.
