How to use blogger in the classroom

As I think about blogging, I am wondering why I would use this in my classroom. What would be the benefit of the blogging? What would you think about using a blog as bell work? I would post a prompt on the blog and ask the students to respond to the prompt. The students would not only respond to the prompt, but they would also respond to the other students answers. If I did use the prompt, how long do you think I should allow the students each morning to respond and read? I also would like to know if anyone has used this method before. Has it worked? Should there be a new prompt each day, each week, each month?

Hello

This is all so new and exciting. I have only blogged twice in my life. I am excited to start this blog as I learn new ideas and uses for technolgoy in the classroom. I am looking for ways to get my students excited again about education and teach them the content but also the technology. I am a mother to three boys and have been married for 11 years. I teach a career and technical education program in Dayton, Ohio where my focus in business management. In my free time I am training to run in a 5K in September and another in October. In May, I hope to run in a 10K in Cincinnati. I also enjoy playing golf and watching my children play soccer and show cattle and hogs.
