New Blogger: Practice Makes Perfect

My third graders are starting to set up their own blogs using the GAFE platform. First, I set up a blog for the student, then I invited the student to join their own blog via an email invitation. Next, the student accepted my invitation. Because I do not want my students to use their real names, they signed in with the blogger profile. Students used a pen name so their real name would not show up on the blog. Parents are administrators too! 

Here is our newest blogger, Soccer Girl! She would love a comment or even just a ClustrMap dot!
