Blogging Easy as 1, 2, 3

     Have you always wanted to blog with your students and did not know where to start?  Well, here is the answer for you.  It comes in the way of www.kidblog.org 
     On this website teachers can sign up for a FREE account and add as many students as you want and build different classes for multiple sections if needed.  It is so easy to use and set up.  
     One thing I really like about it is there is NO advertising and the teacher has all the power in settings for privacy that is desired.  Before any comments or posts are made it must be approved by the teacher before it goes live on the web!   Students love seeing their name in a comment or when they make a post!  It is very powerful to them to be published!
