What are the benefits to using this tool?

There are many benefits to using this tool. This is an easily accessible place for me to post about the happenings of my classroom. Parents are able to come to one universal location and find anything they need for their child to be successful in my classroom. I can post directions and assignments for students who may have been absent from class or for students who have miss placed worksheets. I can answer questions one time by creating a new post rather than responding to 20 different emails. Parents are able to comment on my posts and have conversations with other parents in my classroom regarding the blog post topic.
