Class Blogging with Learnerblogs

I’ve been looking for the right blog host for my English classes, and liked what I saw with Learnerblogs. It uses WordPress, embeds video easily, and has nice themes and designs.

Though I made the site with WordPress MU (multiple user), which allows teachers to give students varying degrees of publication and editorial rights, I decided to use it like a single-blogger blog, and link individual student blogs in the blogroll.

Here’s a tutorial I made (while under a flu). May you have better luck sparking new thinking with it than I did . (Actually, one MS and two HS teachers have expressed interest.)

1. Teacher Think-aloud on Student Blogging (a Fresh Start)
2. On Classroom Blogging 3: Sucking It Dry: Teachers as Vampires
