Start Blogging As Early As Grade 1

In today's world, it can be argued that writing for an online audience is an entirely new form of writing that students need to be exposed to from an early age.

KidBlog is the perfect platform to introduce young primary and junior students to the concept of blogging. Teachers can quickly add students to a class, using an easy to use teacher dashboard that is very similar to Bit Strips. Within this dashboard, teachers can set access levels and turn comment moderation on or off. This allows the teacher to create a protected class blog that can only be viewed by students, with comments that are only visibile upon teacher approval.

Microblogging

Many of our kids are excited about using social media in their own lives.  Can we leverage the appeal of 140 character thoughts in our classroom?  You be the judge - Twiducate allows teachers to create a class of students and have the students communicate in a Twitter-type style.
