It is recommended that you become proficient with your own teacher blog before you create any blogs for your students.

You must always be the administrator for every student blog created. This will allow to moderate and edit content instantly. You can have both you and the student as administrators.

It is recommended that you choose who you want to be able to comment with consideration and select that comments must be moderated before they post live. Comments have been used in incidents of student bullying.

It is important to get permission from parents to create student blogs and publish student work or pictures to the internet.
