Blogging+Resources

Blogging
Some of my favorite tools for blogs in the classroom. Create a classroom blog so that students can share and discuss topics inside and outside of class. Believe it or not, kids will actually visit back often to see who is reading and responding. Reluctant classroom participants usually love this outlet to share ideas and new concepts. I actually heard one of my teachers say that her non-writers posted more than anyone on her reading blog. Sample Blogs – [|Academic Examples]
 * [|WordPress] - Easy to set up and monitor the comments on your blog. One of the best out there.
 * [|21Classes]  – free and education safe
 * [|CoveritLive] - Live Blogging embed in a web page
 * [|Blogger] - Blogger, another easy way to create your classroom blog. Allows for moderation as well.
 * [|ePals] - Free school or classroom blogs. A great way to start an entire school with blogs that they can monitor in one location.
 * [|Global Teacher / Student] - create a safe blog environment for your class and students
