New Blog provider

I came across this site recently as a new offering for school blogs http://www.21classes.com. The bit I was really excited about was the class home page. I don’t know of any other free hosted blog systems that do this (though no doubt readers will tell me of some). Here is the list of features:

Class homepage to communicate with students

Independent yet inter-connected blog accounts for students

Central console to manage students accounts with control over accounts and content

Multiple Options for registration process

Review capabilities of student entries

Upload images or insert videos

Make all or selected students’ writings private

Selection of templates or your own CSS editing

Customizable headers

Hosted application – no installation, automatic updates, no hassle

FREE SERVICE with on demand upgrade options
