How-to video: Set up a classroom blog with Blogger

Quick synopsis: Unlike many classroom blog hosts, Google's Blogger is a blog host that does not create a Content Management System for teachers. However, if you need to simply learn how to set up a blog, Blogger is arguably the easiest blog platform available, as you can literally be registered and blogging in minutes.

Benefits: Blogger is so easy to use, that any teacher new to the digital classroom can be registered for Blogger and blogging in minutes.

Drawbacks: Unlike Kidblog or ePals, Blogger does not allow the teacher to create a Content Management System, so the only way to track student blogs is to use an aggregator, such as Google Reader.

Conclusion: The how-to video above helps you set up a classroom blog, including Blogger how-to video instructions on quick registration, template selection and add-ons that students will love. Watch this how-to video, in 5 minutes or less.
