What is Tumblr?Tumblr is a website used for microblogging and

social networking

Users can post content such as text posts, links, videos, and photos.

They can also follow other users’ blogs

Great to note: your Tumblr can be private

What Did I Learn about the Tumblr?

THE DASHBOARD- this is the main tool- a live feed of recent blog posts, where you can upload your own content, and also where you can click to connect your posts through Twitter and the Facebook

Queue- A way to delay your posts over the course of hours or days

Tags- you can create “hashtags” to help others find your post…for example, I could hashtag #commoncore and those searching for posts on the common core might find my page!

Uses in the K-2 ClassroomI would use Tumblr to connect with parents and

guardians of my future students

It would be a platform to update parents and guardians on classroom news, remind them of upcoming events, and share class work

In the comments section parents could also ask questions

Useful links would also be provided to help parents/guardians with their kindergartner, first, or second grader

Benefits of TumblrTumblr is relatively simple to master and is an easy way

to stay connected with parents and guardians

Text, videos, photos, and links are all able to be posted through Tumblr

Tumblr pages can be made private

Parents/guardians might be encouraged to explore other useful blogs and websites linked through Tumblr

Do not have to rely solely on students relaying messages/bringing paper notices home!

Can be used via mobile!

Limitations of Tumblr It might be a struggle update on a consistent basis

as the year goes on.

There have been a few security issues with Tumblr in recent years such as spam and cross site scripting.

I fear that some might use being anonymous in a malicious way

Parents that are non-English speaking (Google Translate perhaps?)

Those without a computer and or SmartPhone…..
