21classes.com is a blog website that teachers can use to get their students involved in blogging. I think this website can be very beneficial because it offers a lot of perks for teachers and students alike. For example, students are not required to have an e-mail address. This means that younger students can get involved in blogging without the hassle of prior steps that could be confusing for them. The blogs created are also completely controlled by the teacher. This will ensure that the students' work is completely secure and appropriate for all viewers. The website also offers a home page for the entire class. This will give the students a central place to meet and view assignments pertaining to the blog or other class requirements. The sites offerings seem to be very clear, concise, and easy to follow and enjoy.

Great example, Lauren. Here's a safe, teacher-facilitated way to get your students started blogging with some comfort that the content, etc. can be monitored to some degree. John
