- LINK – www.kidblog.org KidBlog
- LIKE There are many aspects I like about
KidBlog. It’s safe and secure. It does not require any personal
information from the students. Teachers
have administrative all student blogs and accounts, and must approve a
blog before it is posted. There are
no ads. Parents can also access
their student blog. Students can
access KidBlog anywhere that they have a device with Internet access. Also, it’s free (for a class of 50
students).
DISLIKE
– It’s hard to really see what KidBlog is actually like just by checking
out the site. There are many
testimonials, but not tutorials that I could find. I had to find tutorials on YouTube.
3. SUMMARY – As noted above, it was
challenging to see how KidBlog functioned on the site. I did dig up some tutorials on YouTube. I tracked down a Support Page that offered
some FAQs in the form of a blog. There
is a great deal I’d like to take time to explore with on KidBlog. I’d like to set up one or two classes with
KidBlog and pilot its use. I won’t do
any more at first because after 50 students, I would have to pay. My likes outline the aspects of KidBlog that
impressed me. It’s so safe and the teacher has so much control.
- FUTURE USE As
mentioned, I definitely could see using this with students and I plan to
in the next couple of months. Since I work as the LRC/computer lab
teacher, I believe I will start using it with students to either – share favorite
books or with a digital citizenship project. I will have to plan carefully since my
student data base can’t exceed 50 students and I work with nearly
500.
