I'd like to show you a couple of lists of teacher friendly blog hosting sites. You'll find the first at Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educator's pages:
http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/edtools.html
Once there, look under "Web 2.0 Tools."
Next is http://blogsforteachers.info/, AKA "Blogs for Teachers" where I also found (I can't stand the excitement) Blogs for Seniors-can you believe it? You'll have to bookmark that one for the distant future.
Another list with some overlap is http://edusocialblogs.info/
Finally, we need to consider some cautionary guidelines for blogging with our students.
Take a look at the entry entitled Concerns over teen blogging continue, by going to http://www.bloggersblog.com/cgi-bin/bloggersblog.pl?bblog=112505
Blogging with pseudonymous and protecting student identity: http://blogsforlearning.msu.edu/blog/archives/2
Also see the entry, Blogs and Kids-Staying Sake and Having Fun, http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/articles/031606.htm
I'll pass out the course evaluations at the beginning of today's class so that you can take the time to fill them out and not be rushed.
Then we'll take a look at our projects as a group. Please let us know the following as you show yours to the class:
Your rationale
Your audience
- age
- level or grade
- students or parents
- revision
- updating
Goals and outcomes
I'd like to thank you all for taking the course. I hope that you learned a lot as a result. And I hope that you continue your plans to use Blogs in your classes with your students.
Please feel free to contact me by email if you need me to help you update any Web files (I've posted for you) or anything else related to what we've done during this course.
Happy Holidays,
Eric
