Maintaining a blog can be very time consuming and rather intimidating for a novice teacher who believes he or she is in a sink or swim situation. Ideally, a blog would be great for my students. Unfortunately, I am teaching in a very high poverty area of Arkansas. As a result, many of my students do not have internet service at home and limited access to a computer. In fact, approximately sixty-eight per cent of the Crossett High school students do not own a computer at all.
Being able to maintain a blog and blog regularly with one's professional peers affords opportunities for novice teachers in need of advice, additional resources, and possibly a place to de-stress by airing a few concerns. I hope to have more time during the second semester to work on a blog and attempt to connect with my peers and students on a more regular basis.
