Starting a blog!

Blogger.com is a free, user-friendly environment for starting a blog and blogging. It provides the facility of being able to have one set of login data to blogger.com, from which a variety of different blogs can be made. Although I have had success with Blogger blogs in the classroom with students as well as for my own personal use I would encourage teachers to look at learnerblogs for student use.

 

eduspaces.net is a newer learning environment. It is a tool for online communities to share, present, blog, and interact. This year I am using this blogging software in order to explore the facilities of ELGG and to try something different.
