Incorporating blogs into your ideal classroom

Although I want to teach Kindergarten I know I will end up teaching other grades along the way. Blogs are a great tool for the classroom but maybe a little difficult for kindergartners. So the benefits I am going to list below are for grades above kindergarten

1. Gives parents and students instant access to classroom news, information, homework and updates at all times
2. Allows children to always access their homework
3. Can provide link that help students with their work or certain topics, and also link parents to certain websites
4. Reduces the use of paper hand outs in class- Children loose them a lot anyway 
5. Shows children how to use the computer as a tool for success
6. Can create a discussion for the students to help each other with homework
7. Gives parents quick access to answers to questions they have and if they cannot find the answer they can post it and get other information from parents
