finding other blogs!

So I was searching through the other people in my classes blogs and on Ashley's I saw that she was following a blog by a teacher named Mrs. Cassidy. She is a first grade teacher who blogs about what her class is doing and has a blog for each of her students. I love the idea of blogging 
about her class and the things her students are learning, but I am nervous with her students blogging themselves. I think by putting her students' videos on youtube and putting their videos on her blog is not a good idea. There are many messed up people in our world which is so sad, but i think it is unsafe for her students. SHe probably takes steps to insure the safety of her students, but it still makes me nervous. 
I do like though how her blog can give parents a way to see what the class is doing every day with out really being there. This is definitely something i would do in my classroom as a teacher!

  1. I really like Mrs. Cassidy's blog. I love her use of technology, and I'm sure the kids really enjoy seeing the videos and stuff. I, too, however, am a little concerned about who can see this sort of thing. I think it's a great thing for students and parents to see, but I think those writing blogs like that should look into limited access however they can.
