Great question Janet! Here are some resources to check out.
There are several good options for finding a good place to host an educational blog. I recommend you check out:
- EduBlogs
- Class Blogmeister (great to use if students will be blogging on a "team blog")
- Blogger (Blogger is administered by Google and many schools block it, but there are great educational blogs on it and it's a good platform)
I began posting Eco-Futures Forum "Fail-Fast" thinkLets via BlogSpot after observing an ESSDACK-led "near peer" workshop at TIES-2003 (Metro-Minnesota).
