Thing 3

I am a Teacher Consultant, so I don't teach content in a classroom.  I have a caseload of special education high school students who need minimal support.  I would love to have a blog to connect them.  My students do not have a time in the day when they can come together to discuss what makes school difficult and what helps, and I can see a blog fulfilling this need.  I have some very bright students  who have developed wonderful ways to learn despite their deficits, and to share this with their peers would just be fantastic.  Since I have students in 9th through 12th grade I also see a blog serving as a mentoring vehicle, (wow what a great idea!). 
In my job, I do a lot of  "consulting" again a blog would pass information along so much more efficiently, and allow for dialoguing among all of the parties.  Finally, what a way for parents to connect with other parents.  I just love the idea of parents being able to share frustrations and successes.  This is what I took out of Thing 3, there are so many uses for a blog and so many ways for it to look.
