Adding extra email addresses
Learnerblogs
From: http://mhetherington.net/blogs/?p=8 (worth looking at the rest of this page)
These instructions assume you just want to build a class page - but the process also gives you a blog for each pupil.
"If you are interested in doing something like this for your students, here is the quick how-to:
•Go to James Farmer’s Learnerblogs.org, and register a Wordpress blog for yourself. This will become the main class blog where all student posts and comments will appear. You will be the administator of this site and will control all posts, comments and access.
•Go back to Learnerblogs.org and register a blog for each of your students, using only their first name or a first name last initial as the username. Use your own email address for each student’s registration. Since the October 2006 upgrade, Wordpress no longer allows multiple blogs to be registered to the same email address. If you have a gmail account this can be easily resolved by generating and assigning a seperate email address for each student. To do this, just add a + sign and the students first name after your gmail address. (youraddress+student1@gmail.com) Each student’s username and password will be emailed to you. Organize the emails by homeroom if you a dealing with more than one class. "

Blog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog
"A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1] With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something."
As of November 2006, blog search engine Technorati was tracking nearly 60 million blogs.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/askbruce/articles/browse/blogging_1.shtml
“Blogging is a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online.
Blogs (or Weblogs) are basically online journals or diaries which are great for sharing information and ideas.
Blogger.com says:
"A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world."
As well as text, blogs often contain audio, music, images and video.
They're also really easy to make, so you can have one even if you aren't very technical.
Anything can be posted instantly to a blog.”

Discussion – do you use the blogging concept, would you? When? At what level would staff need support? Are you confident this is something you could go away and do?
