You may want to try kidblogs.org . . . .it's easy to use, FREE and has a class blog page (with links to all students) and individual student blogs. The interface is easy and offers the teacher options for managing student posts. Another bonus…

Edmodo is a useful micro blogging format, or there are some control options on Weebly for Education.

Maybe posterous would work? I just joined yesterday but it seems like a great option for what you need.
You would have to create your personal blog. Then from your "Manage" area, create an individual blog for each student and add them as a…

I like the fake gmail account thing, but two years ago I was able to set up student accounts for free. Is that no longer the case? Did this happen with the death of learnerblogs.org?

I signed up for it too. But it seems if I want to add students I have to join edublogs campus which costs money. Is there anyway to make student users without having to pay?

I tried ning too. Broke my classes into groups but I could not seperate groups and members and pretty soon everyone was just using it as a myspace page to send emails to one another. Still looking for one with more controls.

Hello all,I would like to create class and student blogs. I tried ning but it quickly turned into a "my space" because I could not control content or member pages.The gold standard seems to be edublogger. I was wondering if any one is using a different blogging site. One in which students can create their own blogs along with a class blog. And the teacher has easy administration controls. Would love to get your suggestions and a link to your pages.Thank you,EricSee More

I just tried starting ning last week with my six ninth grade classes. I set up a group for each class. But it kind of backfired. I couldn't manage groups well and students had access to all other groups, so instead of following my post and the…

I made groups on one URL, is that why all members are shown? Is there a way to manage members now that they have already joined?

- About Me
- I'm a middle aged Technology/Leadership college prep instructor at a charter school in urban South Los Angeles. I've been at my school since it opened in 2004. Its my first and only teaching experience, except for when I was a substitute in the California Juvenile Penal system.
My first career was spent as an Television Anchor/Reporter
working in several small and medium markets in Northern
California, Oregon and Nevada.
It was exciting and a lot of fun. But it was very self absorbed, self serving career, always looking for the big story at expense of others that further my career.
Both my paprents were educators so I took the plunge and joined the family business.
My credential and expertise is social studies, however I was hired to be the tech. teacher at my school while I was a college intern.
I love international travel, outdoor activities including the beach, hiking, river rafting, photography, museums and stimulating conversastion.

Glad you're here. I'm beginning blogging with my 6th graders. I plan on using Edublogs. The biggest advantage for me, is that kids can post comments using the subsidiary gmail addresses I've given them. Some other blogging platforms won't accept them. Here's a link about the advantages of, and "how to" regarding subsidiary gmail accounts for young students.

Hope this helps.
