This is day two of "how-to" week on Free Technology for Teachers. Each day this week I will be posting tutorials on using blogs and wikis to create an online presence for your classroom. Yesterday's tutorial was about setting up a wiki for your classroom. Today, I am sharing three videos covering the basics of setting up a blog on Edublogs, Blogger, and WordPress.com. These three platforms offer free hosting with space and customization options sufficient for most classroom settings.
Although I could have, I did not create these videos. Each of these tutorials explains the basics as well or better than I would.

This is great! I'll add it to my list of 'getting started' support sites. I have recently run several courses to support teachers in Dubai in setting up their own blogs using 'edublogs.'
I share these developments through my own blog (www.bfcb.edublogs.org) - let me know what you think... :)
