Summer's end
Hi there future Midland Juniors! I am just testing out this site as a potential blog site for our class. I read this post about classroom blogs, in which the author reviews six different blogging options for teachers intersted in having a classroom blog. Only two of the options were free: Wordpress and Blogger. Since Wordpress is a little more technical and had more options to wade through (I tried using it years ago) I decided to go with Blogger, which I have used before. Some of the classroom blogs I would have to pay for give students the opportunity to post privately, record audio, and have closed groups. Speaking of which, I am going to check out the privacy settings for blogger.com
