Initially,prior to reading and viewing any of this week's resources, I had been scratching my head wondering how can a math teacher utilize and benefit from blogging. Blogging sounded as though it was geared more towards the Literature, Social Studies and perhaps, the Science teachers.  Much to my surprise, the explanations of blogging and how effective it can be for ALL teachers and students wasn't hard at all to grasp.  I felt like a dummy for a few minutes.  However, since reviewing all resources from this week, I have discovered that blogging is and can be such an easier, more comfortable way for many of my students to communicate. 
Some of the possible uses for math teachers to blog are as follows:
* Having the class syllabus on the blog page
* My planning period time frame
* Daily lessons and assignments posted and updated
* Reminders of upcoming homework, quizzes and/or test that are approaching
* homework page and the problem numbers
* notes from each day's class
* some more step-by-step examples of work covered in class
* Question and answer forum (especially for those students that are reluctant or too shy to speak up in class).
* Reflection moments - This would be a chance for my students to share with me what lesson or part of the lesson was effective and/or what part of my activities/lesson did not make sense to them.

Not all students do have the Internet at home.  The only opportunity they have to use the Internet would be if they were given library time where they could access the Internet or if they have a computer application's class and they have caught up with their work.  Unfortunately, we do not have a supply of iPads or laptops to sign out to students.  This is one of my concerns with the blogging.  It seems that many of the kids that need Internet access the most for stuff such as this are the ones that are less fortunate and their parents/guardians can not afford it.
