So Thing 3 looks pretty easy so I'm gonna go ahead and tackle it head on.
Ways I Could Use Blogs as a Future Teacher:
I could use blogs to help my students learn by finding good blogs that are informative and easy to navigate and written by people who are well educated in the topics we may be discussing in class. I could also use it to post assignments or links for my future students to use in order to help them better grasp the material being discussed in class. I could use my blog as a way for parents to stay up-to-date with classroom activities and how their children are performing and maybe anything funny or exciting that might have happened in the classroom that day. That way they could avoid the dreaded exchange between their child and themselves of, "What did you do at school today?" "Nothing." I'm sure there are even more ways to use a blog to my advantage as a teacher but these are only a few. Feel free to comment with any additional ideas!
I came up with the same ideas as you about how blogging can be used in teaching. I especially like the idea of communicating with the parents are a more interesting and personal level, then just simply a note sent home. Another idea could be to have the students themselves create blogs.
