The obvious next step from a successful class blog is creating individual blogs for each student. And once each student has a blog you have to think school wide or what happens to the blogs at the end of the year? This is very exciting and has proven to play a successful part in raising
student achievement outcomes. But in practical terms, how do you manage multiple blogs? Using Blogger as the obvious blog platform the Manaiakalani Cluster of schools have nearly 1000 blogs and have implemented some very
practical solutions to ensure that they are effective learning tools. In this session you will be shown how we manage the practical aspects of creating blogs at the class, individual student, school and cluster levels. NB: We will
presume that you already know how to create and manage one blog.
