teachers at work education web sites

Thanks to Denise O'Barry of www.deniseoberry.com for this great site.

Bloglet (http://www.bloglet.com ) offers email subscriptions to your blog that keep your users coming back and is supported by most major blog sites. This looks really great and, as soon as I get a chance, I am going to add it to my blogs.

Denise also has a Small Business Blog Directory at www.blogsforsmallbusiness.com/ that you may want to check out.

Copes Overlook 

This is a test of posting photos using the Picasa software. Seems to have worked well. In fact, it was too easy!

Businesses are now having to deal with employees blogging. Many corporations are instituting Blogging Policies and Codes of Ethics. One good thing about this is that employees know exactly where a company stands in regards to blogging. There have been employees fired at different companies for the contents of their blogs.

You may want to check with your district to see if they have a policy before you start blogging with your classes. Be careful of student privacy as well. First names MIGHT be ok but, to be on the safe side, get district approval first so there are no surprises later!
