Tips On Blogging With Students | The Edublogger on 2009-09-30
- If you want to have a classroom blog with just the teacher as the blogger and students commenting, the students do NOT need edublog/learnerblog accounts. You can set the writing settings so the students aren’t even required to type in a name or email, and then just make it YOUR requirement that they do so. Unfortunately, you can’t choose JUST a name requirement, it is attached to the email requirement.
  
  Again, following the same scenario as above with teacher as blogger, you can “respond” to the comments to turn it into a conversation by simply going onto your blog as a reader and submitting your comment (Gail’s edublogs manual indicates how to do this within the actual comment, as well)
  
  Make sure you have it set that all comments must be moderated! Very important that nothing “naughty” gets put up on your classroom blog without you knowing about it and catching it
  
  Don’t have the students use their real names – either assign screen names or use initials
  
  If you choose to have individual student blogs, these should be at learnerblogs, rather than edublogs – I have set up a fairly simple way to do this so that they are completely moderated (posts as well), you can contact me on my blog http://googtweetblog.edublogs.org if you’re interested in learning more before I get around to posting about it.
Blogging Parent Letter and Consent Form | Beyond School on 2009-09-29
- 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”

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

- - Another thing I like is that it doesn’t use the unfortunate term, “blogging.” It uses the label “connective reading and writing” instead.
  - “But how are you going to manage remembering the privacy levels chosen by the parents for each student? That seems like a nightmare.”
    
    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:

    Great way to keep each students privacy levels seperate!!
Safe blogging and Classblogmeister » Moving at the Speed of Creativity on 2009-09-29
- Anyone reading here who is looking for a safe blog for students, look no farther than Classblogmeister. It is especially suited for elementary and middle school aged children. Please be clear about this, students EACH HAVE THEIR OWN BLOGS. In my opinion, having students leave comments on a teacher’s blog is NOT blogging, nor does that practice empower students to deal in any way with the reality they face when they go home and go online – which is part of the reason to start young, and at school. More importantly, it does not present a learning opportunity for writing.
Son of Citation Machine on 2009-09-15
- Citation machine is designed to help student and professional researchers to properly credit the sources used. Its primary goal is to make it so easy for student researchers to cite their information sources, that there is virtually no reason not to -- because...
  
  SOMEDAY THE INFORMATION THAT SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO USE -- WILL BE YOURS!

    Son of Citation Machine is a very helpful, useful citation generator to use when needing to cite your source for the information you are using. It tells you step by step what information you need and where to fill it in at. I would definitely recommend this site!
