Thanks for that information. I do like the administrative control on kids blogs. Since we wouldn't want our own URL, Edublogs would probably be ok for an individual teachers who wanted their own blog. I'll skip Learnblogs if there is no admin control. I start back to school next week and I'll be trying the Classblogmeister with the students soon. I'll take a look at your blog, thanks for the links.

I thought Learnerblogs was the free service that they offered for K-12 students. I know that Edublogs offeres a paid service for those whose organizations want their own URL. We pay for <a href="http://ppsblogs.net">http://ppsblogs.net</a> and offer teachers blogs for their own use. I'm pretty sure Learnerblogs is still free - we didn't opt for it because there is no administrative control over the kids blogs at this point in time.<br />

Hello!<br />
Welcome to my learning blog The Sausage Machine, fresh started in January 2007 for and with two classes (secondary school in Flanders - Antwerp, age 15-18 year). It's a language and literature learning blog in Dutch. Some posts are in English, another in German. I also opened two wikis, but they still are under construction: one for <a href="http://janien.wikispaces.com">writing exercises</a>, another for <a href="http://project07.wikispaces.com">reading art</a>.<br />

I will take a look at your blog and Mr. M's. I've seen Mr. K's and it is amazing. Each blog I look at gives me other ideas. I've created a Classblogmeister blog <a href="http://www.classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=101050"></a> to handle the control issues and have started playing with edublogs. I got the idea that there were costs associated with learner blogs, but I haven't looked at it too closely. I also started something in Blogger. I like it features, but worry about the kids…

I have dabbled in having my students blog, but just to our classroom blog. This year I would like to have each student create their own blog to post, respond and comment on work they are doing and what we are doing in class. (my class blog <a href="http://carter.edublogs.org/">http://carter.edublogs.org/</a>)<br />
<br />
I am currently using edublogs, but the learner blogs costs $$. I would like to have some control over comments and postings and be able to link back to our classroom blog.<br />

<br />
The students this year will have to comment on at least three blogs, but I want them to choose different peers each time. I am hoping that they will continue to read others and continue their comments after their initial 3.<br />
I am also planning to create collaborative connections with other classes in our division as well as around the world.<br />
<br />
We are also working with an online portfolio this year for the first time which, I am hoping, will encourage students to share their work and blog with their parents.<br />
<br />
Good luck with your blog. I am interested in seeing what other classes are doing!<br />

Agree with you, Ann. Just like in any learning situation, some of our bloggers "get it" and embrace it and others do it because they've been asked to, everybody else is doing it, parents want them to do it, they think I'lll like them more if they do it or they have a writing emphasis in their IEP, etc. What pleases me is the kiddos (mostly girls) who are exceptional at it!! Since I hate to write I'm impressed with kids that do it so well. N.

I'm lucky because my co-teacher and I teach kiddos K-6, Each grade level is at our gifted center one day a week so we can get a lot done with the day not broken up into 40 minute segments, music, art, PE, etc. You might be interested in our project from the spring <a href="http://connections.smsd.org/csi">CSI: Cemetery Scene Investigation</a> --let me know how I can help you.
