L2eL - Learning to e-Learn

I spotted an article on TechCrunch about Edmodo.  I’m relishing the idea of a Twitter for teachers.  Previous posts have highlighted the possible uses of Twitter, but I have been put of using it with teachers in schools because of the possible eSafety implications.  Whilst these implications are slight and there is an argument that students should not be unnecesarily protected from the online world, I would still rather use a tool specifically designed for use in the classroom.

I like the new feature to allow teachers to easily create blogs for students now available in Edublogs. I would have liked it even more if it were possible to put together a csv file and author a series of blogs in this way - it would make it that much quicker now that most teachers have a spreadsheet for student details in a class.

The new blog creation tool would be useful for creating a class set of blogs, let’s say 30, but I can’t see a teacher creating one for each student in the 8 classes they teach.  I’m guessing that in these instances you’ll be looking to use a class blog.  It could be a good detention punishment though.
