Catch of the Day - Kidblog.org - 18 Mar 10

The catch of today is Kidblog.org, blogging for pre-high school students


Kidblog.org is designed for elementary and middle school teachers who want to provide each of their students a unique, safe blog of their own.

Kidblog.org is designed and built by teachers so students can get the most out of the blogging experience. Kidblog.org provides a safe and simple blogging platform suitable for elementary and middle school students. Teachers can monitor and control all publishing activity within the classroom blog.

Kidblog.com has privacy features that put student safety first. Teachers have administrative control over all student blogs and student accounts. By default, students' blogs are private - viewable only by classmates and the teacher. Comment privacy settings block unsolicited comments from outside sources.

Semi-public blogs requiring a password to view students' posts and comments can be set up so that guests, parents for example, can have access.

Kidblog.com is simple...
  • No need to memorize usernames, simple login menus allow students to select their name from a list.
  • Clutter-free design means more time publishing.
  • Easy for students to find classmates' blogs.
Kidblog.org does not collect any personal information from teachers or students. Nor does it include advertising of any kind.

  1. Clearly this is teacher created, usernames from a list is brilliant! Do you know if the teacher gets notified when students comment or publish a new post?

  2. I believe so. We're setting one up for the first time next week, so I'll let you know.
