I tried a class blog for the first time last year, using <a href="http://blog.com/" target="_blank">blog.com</a>. It was pretty straightforward to set up and maintain, and I got lots of good kid-to-kid discussions going, which was the point of the whole thing. Here's the URL if you want to have a look:<br />

<br />
Good luck!

Have you looked at using wikispaces.com??<br />
Very easy to set up and you can create bulk users to add your kids.<br />
We are using them at my school and are getting more and more traction as the year progresses.<br />

Feel free to check out my instructional videos at <a href="http://youtu.be/EFhTN67F6hc" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/EFhTN67F6hc</a> (part 1) and <a href="http://youtu.be/MR5N1fQguBo" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/MR5N1fQguBo</a> (part 2). These provide honest student feedback and a how-to. I prefer blogspot.com over others. While mine is public and not protected, you may wish to add this feature to yours. Good luck.

Thanks for the idea Aimee. I took a look at Kidblog and it is very easy. But, I want to add widgets and Voicethreads to the blogs. It doesn't look like you can do that in Kidblog. Any experience with Blogger/Blogspot

I would recommend Kidblog.org. It only takes a few minutes to set up a class (including usernames and passwords for students) and it creates the class page and all the links to the student page. It can be public or private, and teachers can moderate comments or not. Several of our teacher's use it.
