Applications of Blogs to My Practice

As an aspiring Media Specialist in an elementary school, I foresee using a BLOG to post my yearly schedule, book fair information, cirriculum information, Georgia Book Award nominees and winners, links to the Accelerated Reader book list, links to Galileo, Nettreker and other internet search engines which are kid-safe. The applications are endless. I would definitely begin my BLOG with a mission statement about what my media center is all about and what I hope to accomplish during the school year. Basically, I would use a BLOG in place of newsletters and some e-mails. BLOGGING is an effective way to communicate and get information out there to students, parents, and teachers about what's going on in the media center.
