Exemplary Blog Sites


The list to the left, Award Winning Blogs, provides links to the best blogs out there...at least in the opinions of those who voted for them! The Edublogs site provides very useful education examples. In fact, the finalists have just been announced. I'm impressed.

By the way, don't be afraid to check out other blogging sites. Like Blogger, you can get an Edublog in seconds. The nice thing about Edublogs is that it has a tie to the Education community straight away. For example, on the front page of the site is a link to 10 Ways To Use Your Edublog to Teach.

Below is a list of other blog providers you might want to evaluate. Just so you know, some of these may be websensed at school because of social networking...

Blog Hosts
Edublogs
Dairyland
TypePad

Server Side (Blogs that require a download and installation)
Greymatter
Moveable Type
WordPress
