Kidblog

After reading through my friend Sana blog post Martha Stewart Craft studio. I would like to do some research about the kids app and sites a found this kidblog. kidblog  is a wonderful resource for student blogging. According to kidblog website, kidblog.org "is designed for elementary and middle school teachers who want to provide each student with their own, unique blog. Kidblog's simple, yet powerful tools allow students to publish posts and participate in discussions within a secure classroom blogging community. Teachers maintain complete control over student blogs."  Kidblog has several advantages over other blogging sites:

·         create classroom discussions

·         learn digital citizenship

·         practicing writing skills

·         create an e-portfolio

·         reflect on learning

·         formatively assess writing

Since kidblog is free so I think it is very good opportunities for children to have this blogging experience. But teacher needs to be aware on what children are sharing if it is very personal or related to the family background or religion.
