<p>My class uses KidBlog.org and I like it for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that all posts and comments have to be teacher approved. Each student's blog is link into the entire class blog. It is open for the public to read and comment. It works nicely for any age kids.</p>

<p>I looked into Schoology when it first came out. I decided against it because it was so new and untested. I'm pleased to here that you are having success with it.</p>

<p>Andy, some of my classes are using Kidblog.org for their blogs. The posts and the comments are open to anyone who wants to read or comment, making them easily shared and then easily as accessible. All posts are submitted for review and all comments are moderated prior to their being posted.</p>

<p>Classblogmeister - I use this blog tool over any other blog sites because a teacher can set it up so that everything that is posted has to be approved by him/her. Instead of using student names, students login name is their initials and the year they graduate from high school. I am a tech integrator, so not only does the classroom teacher have the teacher password for behind the scenes work, but so do I.

<p>Classblogmeister - I use this blog tool over any other blog sites because a teacher can set it up so that everything that is posted has to be approved by him/her. Instead of using student names, students login name is their initials and the year they graduate from high school. I am a tech integrator, so not only does the classroom teacher have the teacher password for behind the scenes work, but so do I. That way I can help with approving of comments and articles, but ultimately it is the classroom teacher's responsibility. During the summer break I move student blogs from their previous classroom into their new classroom. This allows for student work to follow them from 2nd grade to 5th grade.

<p>This year I decided to try a Posterous site with my fourth grade class. They post via school division email accounts rather than log into the site. They can also reply to posts using their email. It was a strategy to simplify the process.</p>
