Free Blogs for Schools

Well, James Farmer is true to his word and has created Learner Blogs for students to start their own free blogs. The subject of what was a good blogging platform for K-12 students was raised during our EdTech Talk brainstorm last night, and James jumped right in and offered to create a safe blogging environment for students. Learner Blogs is on Word Press MU and offers a more restricted environment, and better features, than the publicly available Blogger. Having a password-protected site that is not open to the entire Web is a necessary feature when introducing young students to blogging.
If you want to learn more about how to use blogs in schools, Will Richardson’s Weblogg-ed News is a good place to start.

  1. Blogues en français? Un jour, tu m’as dirigé vers Blogger.com à cause de l’interface en français. Depuis, j’ai un plaisir d’écrire dans la blogosphère :) . Sais-tu si quelque chose de similaire existe et qui offre plus de sécurité? Plusieurs enseignants francophones du NB s’intéressent à ceci.
