Student Accounts
With a new school year beginning, and me just getting my feet yet last year, I am trying to decide the best approach to setting up student accounts and allowing my students have their own blogs. I am thinking of having them earn increased rights as the blog goes on, but I’m just not sure what to do. What have you done with setting up student accounts? Do you just let them jump right in? Do you stay an administrator on their accounts? Help!!!

Hi Angela, You might like to check out tilgunas response to how they are managing students being administrators as it may give you some ideas. I know other teachers who has started first with class blog and gradually increased students roles on the class blog. As students showed they were up to the responsibility they were gradually given their own blog.

Thanks Sue. That post was quite helpful. I am thinking of leaning that way. I am excited to have the kids get started, but don’t want to jump in too quickly and have things get either out of control or too hard (and time consuming) to manage.

Well starting with a class blog will definitely allow you to make it more manageable and then you can see how you go.
