The 2 oldest classes I teach media Literacy to are a Grade 4 and a Grade 5 Extended French Classes (although I teach them in English). So these classes are going to be my Blogging Guinea Pigs. I'm currently starting with the Grade 4 class because the Grade 5 class is currently involved in a wiki project which has been very successful.....anyway, I've been looking at different tools to manage classroom blogs. I want to have a class blog with the students blogs listed in the sidebar. I started thinking about using a tool called Classblogmeister which one of my Blogging Heroes uses..(Check out this Grade 1 classroom blog in Sask....I mean if they can do it in Grade 1...). after looking into it I'm now moving on to other tools. I've been told about 21classes a few times but I think I'm going to settle on Edublogs to run our blogs. Edublogs is the engine that runs a Blog by 2 teachers in Ottawa that I admire..Here's one of their Blogs (a Grade 5 class). I'm just at the beginning stages but I'll keep you updated by my progress.
