It's also worth reading Lorraine Watchorn's material on the Rellco blog. At primary and intermediate level, Classblogmeister is a good option because it is a blogging tool made for this age group. It has the capacity to be made secure when it comes to moderating posts (a blog article) and comments. The student blogs can be orphaned off a teacher's class page, and reattached to a new class the following year. Decisions need to be made about who owns the blogs - the teacher or the school? Other tools include Wordpress and Blogger.com. These can be used after the student leaves school. Remember that both these options are recommended as not suitable for children under 13 years. Blogger is a good tool for a teacher's reflective blog. Another Blogging site which is designed for education is [|Edublogs.] This site is suitable for high school bloggers.
