During my undergraduate career, I was introduced to the idea of creating a blog as part of our practicum to showcase to our professor and classmates our learning experiences. Being in a health-care environment, there were many things I was not able to share about my practicum. Therefore, I never found this platform useful as student pursuing a career as a child life specialist.
Two years later, I changed gears to a career in teaching English as a second language and was re-inspired by the idea of blogging and the many ways it can be used in the classroom. What have I learned so far in this process ? : - As a future TESOL instructor, I could use this as a teaching tool for students. Depending on my class demographic, I could use this as a source to post important notes, homework, and announcements. - Blog can be used as a source of information for students where they can obtain information about lessons. - Instead of using pictures from other websites that may have a copyright, use your own photos or photos from a public domain. As a new teacher in the field of ESL, using a blog as a teaching and documentation tool is still a work in progress. For more information on different ways that a blog can be used in the ESL classroom, I found an article on blogging for English language teachers that I found to be very informative.
