Creating and maintaining a blog for this course has been interesting. I chose to use the Blogger platform, as I have used it in the past and thought I would be comfortable with it. I quickly learned that there have been many changes to the layout and functions of the site, and it was not nearly as user friendly as I remember. On more than one occasion I thought my post had published when in fact it was simply saved as a draft. If I were to create another blog I would most likely use a different platform. Reviewing the blogs of classmates using various platforms was very helpful in this sense.
Though I used this assignment to create a blog for professional development, I would likely create a classroom blog in the future. I would use it to communicate with parents, allow students to post work, and invite feedback. Having viewed several classmate's blogs set up in this style, I feel it can be a great tool.
