I did a blog training for my teachers this summer. Before the training on HOW to get started blogging, I did some stuff beforehand:

I created all the gmail accounts and blogspot blogspot blogs myself. I named them all following the same pattern. (I give examples below) I put all the username/pw information on a document so I’d have it in the future (and GOSH has it come in handy)

Once I had each blog set up, I went under settings/permissions and invited MYSELF to be an author and made MYSELF an administrator, so I could help each teacher with administering her page. I hope all this makes sense!

Pre-K:
 * Blog Address: [|www.pettuselemteacherlastname.blogspot.com]

 * Password: prek123

1st Grade:

 * Blog Address: [|www.pettuselemteacherlastname.blogspot.com]
 * Gmail Account: teacherfirstinitiallastname2nd@gmail.com
 * Username: teacherfirstinitiallastname2nd

I highly encourage people to get their kids blogging. The impact it has had on generating excitement for books has been amazing….and the kids are getting feedback from teachers all over the nation, which is very cool.
