gClassFolders is a tool that allows for management of all the files that students share with teachers and allows for sharing easily with students. The setup is straight forward and sets up three folders for students for a class - Edit, Preview(Read Only) and Dropbox to turn work in.

Although this is written with younger students in mind, there are some good ideas of the skills all beginning bloggers need to learn, how to organize posts in a spreadsheet and track posts using Feedly, an RSS reader. Some good ideas for the classroom teacher. If 4th graders can blog, why not older students?

Sharing and collecting student work in Google Drive takes some work when manually creating folders. gClassFolders makes that process easier for both students & teachers. View the demo video to get a sense of the process. This is a free way to get the job done. You may also want to look at Hapara, which has bells and whistles that'll surprise you!

DIY learning, development. Interesting graphic and organization.

Joann Fox (AppEducation.com), a member of my PLN, shares how she's made Twitter her top Personal Learning activity and how you can, too. Oh, yeah, she's a CA teacher like you, except she does 4th grade...and is a blogger, San Diego Co. Teacher of Year, CA , co-founder of #CAedchat, #EdCampSD organizer, and Google Certified Teacher. She's a connected teacher.

Quad blogging is also another way to ensure an audience for your blog. We have had great success organizing ourselves into quads over at #edcmooc. http://quadblogging.net I mentioned it in #etmooc, but no takers yet.
