Kidblog is the perfect web 2.0 for safe and secure classroom blogging community. These blogs can be kept private from the rest of the internet while settings exist allowing parents and other classmates see these postings. This tool was designed specifically for K-12 education purposes and encourages students to write and teaches digital citizenship.

Kidblog tool can remove or reduce barriers by education in many ways. A few examples how this tool can be utlised is:

  • If students have a hard time writing legilably, Kidsblog provides the students to express their ideas organised and legiably via typing.
  • If students students express themselves better through multimedia, Kidblog makes it very easy to add photos, videos, etc.
  • If students struggle writing their ideas down but rather can oral speak their ideas more proficiently, Kidblog enables embedding of both podcast and videos of students speaking.

There is no age restriction in using this web tool, and no student emails required. When a teacher signs up, they register the students, so this tool can be used from kindergarten to grade 12!
