How do use a blog to organize your class plans

Yes, I am blogging more frequently.  Why?  The blog is one of my chief means of organizing my thoughts and processing my lessons.  My Chemistry classes require only a bit of planning and evaluating.  I’m comfortable with Chemistry.  The Anatomy class is different.  I just completed a Human Biology class with four kids over the summer.  One student, Anna, wanted to continue.  We aren’t doing the Anatomy at the moment; instead, we are working through concentrations, osmolarity, and fluids and Electrolytes to help her in an area she finds troubling.  At the same time, I’m home-schooling Lacie in all subjects.  Anna and Angel are taking Brit Lit.  My husband, Rob, teaches Physics and Stats.  He cannot find the equipment in the basement for labs.  That’s my job.  To be honest, I do squirrel things away.  Rob loathes all forms of technology aside from his iPhone and excel.  I’m relearning Stats to help him with the TI 84 graphing calculator exercises.  The blog helps! I have another blog for Lacie and the Brit Lit.  When I report grades at the end of the year, I also reference the blogs with the photos as evidence of our studies.  Yes, I’m keeping papers and tests for Lacie.  The blog has proved to be the best way for me to keep all these disparate classes compartmentalized.
