Kidblog is a platform for students to publish their writing, audio, visual or video projects. Teachers can create a class blog as a way to communicate with parents, including information like deadlines for assignments coming up and learning tips for students. Teachers could also use Kidblog as a digital portfolio, which could grow with students from year to year within the same school board.
Users have the ability to adjust privacy settings, which invites the discussion of the issue of online privacy and safety with students. It's also a good idea to discuss with students the behaviour norms around acceptable and appropriate content. These discussions with students encourage critical thinking about safe ways to interact on the web.
Kidblog is a go-to resource for quick, safe and easy student blogging. But remember, Kidblog is just a platform- it's up to teachers to make the learning happen!
Here is a video further discussing how Kidblog works and a short overview on how to navigate this tool:
