Classroom Blogs

I haven't set this up yet, but it appears to be a great place for students to blog without having to have email addresses. If anyone at my school is interested, I would set up a blog for their students for them. It certainly appears to be an easy setup and the price is right. There aren't any ads and teachers can require that posts be approved before they are posted. I would certainly recommend that you put that feature on if you are using it with students. The name of the site is http://kidblog.org/.
Let me know if you decide to try this.

  2. No, I have not done this yet, but if someone wanted to play with it, I would work with them on it. I thought it might be something that would be able to be used by your kids next year. It does seem that all fifth and sixth graders will have access to an email address as well next year that can only be used for educational purposes. More on that this summer.
