Start Blogging by Using Blogger

Blogging in the classroom is easy, and more and more blog services are catering to educators because teachers around the world are finding out that blogging is educational and fun. Students tend to take more care with their work when they know it will be read by a wider audience than themselves and their teacher. If you're looking for an easy way to get your students writing more on the web, then a blog is an idea you should consider.

*Before I move on, if you are new to the whole blogging thing, please watch the short video I shared in my first post on Web Writers.

What Is It?
Let's begin with the blog host for Web Writers, Blogger. Blogger is a Google product. Not too long ago Google has put a lot of attention toward creating and tweaking web-based tools for educators.

Blogger is quick, easy, and highly customizable. Blogger allows only those you invite to view or respond. You can also open it up to the public completely. If you choose this option you should monitor the comments before the comments appear on the blog.
