Uses and Benefits
The site offers four typical areas for the students: a personal blog space, assignment blog, topic blog, and c-mail. The personal blogs can be shareable for the entire class or set up for the teacher only. Assignment blogs allow the teacher to post assignments for the class. Topic blogs allow the teacher to post links, discussion posts and pictures to an area that students can view and make comments. C-mail is an email program that allows the students and teacher to communicate within their class.
The site is very customizable and has the option for two administrators, in case there is a student teacher helping in the classroom. The teacher can edit all blogs that are posted by the students for misspelling and or abuse.
