For Free

Teachers: Create a group for your classes and start blogging. Use of this system is free of charge and free of advertising, unless schools approve and sell the ads themselves! It’s best to maintain a regular schedule of posting so people know what to expect. Once you create groups and start posting, your students and parents will always be able to participate for free. As Web developers and journalists, we want to know how we can bring our expertise to help you and your students best.

 

So start blogging today, and let us know what you think! Let our professional Web developers & journalists take care of the technical details. Give teachers, students, & parents back the time they need to do what they do best: learn. Blog today and get a community excited about school!

 

Note: You can sign up for a free account any time, but access to the content is restricted after 11 p.m. This serious decision, we hope, allows teens to sleep rather than play online. We appreciate your understanding.

Home About ... Coverage I think we’re going to the moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to
face challenges. It’s in the nature of his deep inner soul. We’re required to
do these things just as salmon swim upstream.—Neil Armstrong, 1930-2012
