Reflective Practitioner

After reading the post, I started seeing my blog in a different way.  My focus of my blog is to share with parents what is happening in the classroom beyond the calendar and monthly newsletter I send home.  I post on my blog once a week.  I would like to post more frequently, but I haven't figured out how to naturally fit it into my day.  I always reflect on activities that I have done in class.  It could be while I am watching the children at recess or maybe at lunch with my colleagues or at the end of the day.  I can see how looking at my blog can help me reflect about my class and what I need to provide them.  I can see how looking at other teacher's blogs can help me get ideas for my own classroom.  I do see how looking at other teachers' blogs can be like a PLC.  I don't think it is as effective as having a real life PLC.  I think it is so important to bounce ideas with your colleagues and come back and reflect  about how the students are doing and what we need to do next.  I think you miss the important conversation by just looking at a blog.
