Sat, 01 Apr 2006 12:57:21 +0000 http://fordlog.com/?p=53#comment-118 [...] A quick ‘google’ suggests that no edu-blogger has yet published a blook (but I might be wrong), although Cool Cat Teacher (Vicki Davis) is planning to do so in the summer. Her main reason is the transient nature of electronic data, and experienced edu-bloggers have also pondered on the potential loss of their early work. It’s an irony to note that in order to leave one’s thoughts to future generations, even if the readership might be only our own family, we still have to resort to traditional means. Vicki points to another ‘blooker’ who gives an excellent explanation of their experience of blooking.

You will obviously have guidelines for acceptable blogging behaviour for your students and encourage them to take responsibility etc. However, with that many blogs then you also need the ability to deactivate, edit or delete a blog at the push of a button. I currently use WordPress Multi-user when I set up schools because it allows a school or teacher overall control and thus peace-of-mind that any 'nightmare scenario' can be effectively dealt with. It is based on the edu-blogs sites I recommended yesterday. Let me know if you require any further information. Andre,
