I am happy I found this. I am about to start blogging with my class to encourage peer-reading, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Also, as a means to strengthen home-school partnerships. Thank you.

Good Morning Mrs. Morris,
I loved reading your post about how to incorporate blogging into your classroom. I recently started my MSED with a specialization in integrating technology within the classroom and we have been learning about different Web 2.0 tools to use with students. Blogging instantly caught my attention because of it ability to spark collaboration and serve as a platform for students to show their work. After reading your post I have grown a better understanding in how to implement blogging with my students in a way that is effective and safe. Thank you so much for sharing your blogging guidelines and the parent and student permission slips that you use within your classroom. The guidelines and permission slips were very helpful for me because they gave me a strong foundation of where to begin when I start blogging within my classroom.
Sincerely,
Allison Kaiser

Hi there,
Great post! Thanks so much.
I’d love to take a look at your example of blogging guidelines but only see the permission form linked. Could you resend the link to the guidelines?

Thank you!

In reply to Grace Leigh.

Hi Grace,
We do share your concern, fortunately students do not need to have an email to be a user or have a blog with us. We actually have some recommendations in keeping their information safe in this guide http://help.edublogs.org/student-username-url. You are also able to control who can see your class blog or your student blogs with the privacy settings http://help.edublogs.org/blog-privacy/ and http://help.edublogs.org/student-blog-privacy/.

Hope this helped!
Sylvie

Hey
I love this idea! I am only a pre-service teacher at the moment but would love the opportunity to witness a class blog in action.
I just have one question though. I live in an area with a fair few incidents with domestic violence orders against certain family members. Do you have any helpful hints for any students whose parent(s) wont allow permission to be included on a blog for these reasons? It must be upsetting for the student to miss out when their lives have already been so disrupted. I wonder if it would be appropriate to not include first names or photos of these students but still allow access and information to the parent with custody.
Thanks in advance!

In reply to Cristina Elena Voicu. Good point, Cristina. I agree that lack of understanding or knowledge is the main reason parents don't come on board.

I think that is important to ask parents permission for blogging because they need to know what their children do and, why not, to learn from them too. If you teach your students about the safety rules of using Internet (netiquette) it will be useful for them in the future too. Parents will be opened to this idea of blogging if you explain them what is all about. Not knowing it will make them reject your idea…
