KidBlog writing
I've used KidBlog for several years now. It's a great way for your students to post their writing, share with their parents in a secure way, and develop both writing skills and manners. How can you accomplish all of those things at one site? Here are the benefits of KidBlog:
- Your blog site is password protected for your entire class. Parents can log in and view all posts using one single password.
- Students can write as little or as much as they would like. They can keep it simple, or change color, font size, and edit any way they would like after.
- Students may comment on each others writing assignments. You may choose, as the teacher, to preview the comments before they are posted. (I'd recommend that option... kids can be catty without realizing it.)
- Writers can easily brighten up their writing with images from the web, or illustrations they've done, which you can upload either through taking a photo or scanning in class.
- KidBlog was free. It's now charging a reasonable fee ($30/year).
