Creating a Blog

FISD Wiki Server

To create a blog, log on to https://fisd-wiki01.ads.friscoisd.org/users/.

Once your blog is created, you will access your blog from https://fisd-wiki01.ads.friscoisd.org/users/ (insert your FISDusername_here)

Here are some "free" blogging sites on the web ...

http://www.blogger.com/

http://www.wetpaint.com/

http://www.wordpress.com/

http://edublogs.org/

Should you decide to use one of the free sites above rather than the FISD Wiki Server, one issue that you will face is students not having email addresses.

Here is one possible solution for the email address issue ... http://www.tammyworcester.com/TipOfWeek/TammyWTechTipOfWeek/Entries/2009/4/6_Tip_67_-_Student_Response_Journals.html-- Warning! Your students could use another student's username and pose as him/her to comment. Be sure to establish a clear consequence and to let students know that this will "not" be tolerated.
