Fill out the
information.
Click the “Users” tab to add
users, such as students
and/or other teachers.
This is your Dashboard (home).
The orange tab indicates your location.
This is where you would
click to set up multiple
classes (This will be
explained later.)
Now we are at the “Users” page. Remember:
The orange tab indicates your location.
Click “Add Users to this
Class” to add users.
Fill out the
information.
Click “Add User”
Click here to adjust your settings.
This is an example class. You can
see how many posts and comments
each student has submitted.
When you’re finished adjusting
your settings, click here to see
what students will see. (Students
don’t have a Dashboard.)
Adjust your
settings.
I suggest checking the box
next to “Teacher must
approve posts / comments
before they appear”.
This is your location (White Tab).
This is where all the new
posts will be listed.
This is a list of all the
bloggers in the class.
Rembember: Students will see the “all
blogs” screen when they log in. Tell them to
click the “New Post” tab to begin blogging.
Add title here.
Type here.
Bloggers can click “Save as
Draft” if they are not ready to
publish (not finished).
Bloggers click “Publish” when they are
ready to publish (send the post to the
teacher’s dashboard for approval).
Bloggers can add
pictures, video, audio,
PowerPoint, etc.
Full screen mode.
The spell checker is
a great tool.
Click here to return to your Dashboard.
Click here if you want to create a new class
(for teachers with multiple classes).
Name your
class. Click
“Add Class”.
This is what the Dashboard looks like
after you have posts and comments.
Click the orange
“Pending” under Posts
or “Waiting” under
Comments to approve
posts or comments.
Don’t forget to write down
your web address so that
students know how to
access the blog or post the
link to your website.
Example web address:
Kidblog.org/yourusername
This is what the log-in screen for your
class will look like when students go
to your web address. A great feature
is that the users can select their name
from a drop-down list.
