Blogger

Considerations:
 * If you already have a google account, then you also have a blogger account already. Same sign in name, same password.
 * Make the title of your blog the actual URL that students will use to access the blog. ALL campus blogs now need to be named something that starts with the characters: **sdol**
 * Make sure comment settings are set to "EVERYONE CAN COMMENT" and moderation set to "ALWAYS." Have a coach verify that your settings are correct before using.
 * Make sure students NEVER post a last name on a blog. First name, last initial, period number, using the "Name/URL" comment field. This is our number one reason for moderating blog entries.
 * Read the Blogger instructions for further details.
 * Beyond the nuts and bolts: research "blogs in education" to see how other teachers use blogs instructionally in their classroom.
 * Take a look at some of our own teacher bloggers and see how they use their blogs!

Here's a great example from Mr. Dodson: [|http://mrdworldcultures.blogspot.com] Here is an example of a blog between Mr. Thedford's class and a class at SciTech High in Harrsiburg [] Other staff bloggers: Directory to Staff Wikis and Blogs
