Kid blog is exactly how it sounds, it is a blogging site for kids! Teachers can benefit from this as they are in complete control as to what is getting published, what can be edited and also who can reply! This is ideal for a single class or group work, students can blog their daily entry once they have completed a segment of work.

Kidblog.org is based in Minneapolis, MN and was established in 2007! It claims on its web page that it is committed to providing the most effective, efficient student-blogging tool available. It was originally built by teachers, for teachers so that their students can get the most out of blogging, while still providing a safe and simple blogging site.

The blogging site is aimed at junior primary and middle school students, but can still be utilised as a communication tool for students working on group assignments for all ages.

Benefits:

 * Teachers have administrative control over all student blogs.
 * Blogs are private by default - viewable only by classmates and the teacher.
 * No advertising on the website, so it is free from distraction.
 * Comment privacy settings block comments from outside sources.
 * Kidblog does not collect any personal information from teachers or students.
 * Simple login menus allow students to select their name from a list of students in the class, therefore no usernames.
 * Central blog directory, based with class lists will make it easy for students to find classmates' and partners blogs.
