Cathy Nelson’s Professional Thoughts

Have you wanted to create a blog where your students can safely post on their own instead of having to just comment on your posting. Introducing David Warlick’s Class Blogmeister! I haven’t fully researched it, but I am in the process of doing just that. I have several media friends who are using it, and they tell me it’s great, safe, and moderated. You create your blog, and then add the students that you want too include as being allowed to blog. Then anytime they want to post a comment or begin a new thread, they don’t have to wait. Best, you as the teacher can approve (or refuse) the postings. Think about it…students reading more… students writing more…for a real purpose. What better way to teach reading and writing?
