A Shift…
This year we have decided to shift the class blog over to blogger. For the past year I have listened to many people talk about the benefits of using a certain blogging site over the other – namely the one they favour the most. Each site seems to have a range of bonuses that make them unique over the others.
In the holidays I did alot of research looking at a range of pluses and minuses of using a range of different systems.
The most popular sites for classroom blogging seem to be:
A few people seem to be making a shift away from Edublogs due to their new supporter system which is a more user pays system for extras such as video uploading etc. Edublogs have been and are still a stealth supporter of educational blogging.
The decision to trial blogger as a class blog site was made for a few reasons – the main benefit was being able to use a site and all its possibilities free and the second being that it was to be ad free.
I would be interested to hear more from people who have, have not or are considering made a switch to another blogging site. Why you made or will not shift and how you are finding the transition if you have?
