Blogging

Our district has had numerous discussions on blogging and how to do it so that we are CIPA compliant. We had two teachers pilot a blogspace last year and both were successful. Working at the middle school level, we chose to have the teacher approve each comment before posting. Next year we are looking to host our own blogspace with a new 10.5 server. Using our own, we will be able to monitor and log the blog.

Here is a definition of a blog: http://www.pvt.com/oth/glossary.htm
 * Blog:** Short for "Web log," a specialized site that allows an individual or group of individuals to share a running log of events and personal insights with online audiences. Blogs with political or current-events themes have grown in popularity and become "soap boxes" for instant mass-audience commentary.
