TeacherWeb Introduces Teacher-Moderated Classroom Blogs

Now teachers using TeacherWeb for their classroom website can create blogs for their classroom. The teacher presents the topics, there is unlimited capacity for student blog comments, and the teacher allows/disallows the comments. This ability to allow/disallow insures that unwanted or inappropriate messages are not posted to the blog. At the teacher's option, the entire blog can be password-protected to keep access only within the class.

Ridgefield, CT (PRWEB) April 11, 2008 - "Teachers want classroom blogs which they can moderate, and that's just what we developed", says Jeanne Bodnar, president of TeacherWeb, Inc. Now teachers using TeacherWeb for their classroom website can create blogs for their classroom. The teacher presents the topics, there is unlimited capacity for student blog comments, and the teacher allows/disallows the comments. This ability to allow/disallow insures that unwanted or inappropriate messages are not posted to the blog.

Requests have been strong from social science, literature, and current events teachers who will use the blogs to stimulate discussion, interaction, and writing skills.

There are many other fine features, according to Michael Zilinkas, chief technology officer at TeacherWeb. Users can rate the posts; when students post comments the teacher is alerted by email that it awaiting their approval; once the teacher has okayed the posting, other contributors receive an email alert; and students and teachers can search the blog and the comments.
