I spent several hours exploring which blogging platform to use. I finally settled on posterous because it seemed easiest - students could email their posts in, and I would moderate. The layout is clear and uncluttered, and I created a main blog to feed all of the student group blogs into, and then embedded the main page into Moodle.
It hasn't been all smooth sailing. There have been a few technical difficulties and posterous seems to be changing their user interface at the moment. There are logistical challenges to making blogging easy for nearly 40 students with mixed technical experience. However I love the potential for using blogging as a way for students to learn, publish and share.
We would love to get comments on our class blog from anyone interested in child development!
