Thank you for attending our presentation about blogging.
Here are three great reasons for teachers to start blogging:
1. Blogging allows us to effortlessly create our own web site, easily visited by students and staff.
2. Blogging complements and enhances the learning community you already have in the classroom.
3. Blogging enables us to model constructive, proper digital communication for students.
4. You can archive and share great articles and information that get you fired up! The following got me thinking:

Finally, here's food for thought if you're thinking of the legal ramifications of what you put on the web. http://www.eff.org/issues/bloggers/legal
And of course, students need to be told and retold that blogging is a public forum and they need to be mindful about posting images that could haunt them years from now. They also need to know that displaying private information is a big no-no.
Thank You
