[CALIBK12] Blog Advice

[Daydream Queen]

I'm experimenting with using a blog with a class. I'm using Blogger. The
object is to have students post 10 short assignments and for others to post
comments on these assignments. I'm exploring what would be the easiest way
to approach this. What has been your experience?

Options:

1. Teacher set up main blog, students create their own blogs and teacher
adds these blogs as links to the main page so students can access other
students' blogs and comment on them. Students would post assignments to
their own blogs.

2. Teacher set up main blog and adds students as authors. (So far in
experimenting, it seems that posts cannot be moderated, only comments) so
unless you know otherwise this may not work if teacher needs moderation of
student posts. If it can work then students can add posts and also comment
on posts on teacher blog.

3. A Wiki. Teacher creates a wiki and students can add content and post
comments I suppose. Is ther a moderation feature to this or just an email
the teacher would get that there has been something aded to the wiki. I
admit I have yet to create one so I will play with it today.

I appreciate your advice. I attended Doug Achterman's session on using wikis
and blogs at CSLA and was impressed!
