[CPSLibraries] Student blogs / middle school

[Stewart, Barbara J]

I would also be interested in this.  I do not know how to do it but we have Gaggle accounts for all our 7th and 8th grade students and this might be a fun thing.  What about monitoring it?  Gaggle shuts students out for certain language.

I am very interested in setting up a blog as someone else said, to cut down on reproducing.  I guess I really don't see the difference between and blog and a website.  I have already asked Lisa Perez and I am pretty sure professional development is coming.

I am not currently using blogs with our middle or high school students, but I know that our new e-mail program, FirstClass, allows one to create and publish a blog online.  
 
Best,
Paula

Is anyone using blogs with their elementary or middle school students?  How?  Through with host?

Also, I am looking for some really great middle school units/lessons for next school year.  
 
Thank you in advance for any ideas or information.
