This is a great way to inform parents about student blogging and give them a say in their child's privacy settings!

What I like about this approach is that parents can choose the level of privacy – name, image in photos and/or videos, comment moderation – for their “child” (we have to come up with a better word for the young adult offspring of parental units).
Another thing I like is that it doesn’t use the unfortunate term, “blogging.” It uses the label “connective reading and writing”

Peggy GeorgeExcellent blog post about blogging and use of Diigo in classroom by Clay Burrell.
Parents can choose the level of privacy - name, image in photos and/or videos, comment moderation - for their “child” (we have to come up with a better word for the young adult offspring of parental units). Another thing I like is that it doesn’t use the unfortunate term, “blogging.” It uses the label “connective reading and writing” instead. By calling it “connective reading and writing” (and I tried to very briefly define and explain how revolutionary this is in the parent letter below), the emphasis is instead placed on self-directed reading and writing - and creating networks of interest with real-world writers by discussing their writing, linking to it, commenting on their blogs, and hoping to attract them to form a relationship by commenting back on the students’ blogs. This type of blogging is more properly considered “project-based learning.” -

Here’s how: use Diigo. That’s what I’m going to do, anyway. Diigo now allows us to leave annotations (”stickynotes”) on web pages that are not attached to any highlighted texts, but just float on the page as a little yellow speech bubble. So I’m going to put a private, floating stickynote on each student blog’s homepage telling me the privacy levels chosen for him or her. It looks like this:
