Kidblog - 1 views

  • Kidblog is built by teachers, for teachers, so students can get the most out of the writing process. Our mission is to empower teachers to embrace the benefits of the coming digital revolution in education. As students become creators - not just consumers - of information, we recognize the crucial role of teachers as discussion moderators and content curators in the classroom. With Kidblog, teachers monitor and control all activity within their classroom blogging community.
  • Kidblog provides teachers with the tools to help students safely navigate the digital – and increasingly social – online landscape. Kidblog allows students to exercise digital citizenship within a secure, private classroom blogging space. Kidblog’s security features put safety first: Teachers have administrative control over all student blogs and student accounts. Your students’ blogs are private by default – viewable only by classmates and the teacher. Teachers can elect to make posts public, while still moderating all content. Teachers can add password-protected parent and guest accounts to the community at their discretion. Comment privacy settings block unsolicited comments from outside sources. Kidblog is fully COPPA compliant and does not require any personal information from students.

    PARCC releases the Assessment Blueprints and Test Specifications for ELA and Math.  This collection of documents will help any teacher understand how the common core standards will be assessed.  There is a lot here, but there are helpful guides, an FAQ, and narrated powerpoints to help you navigate.  See especially the Evidence Statements in math and ELA that clarify the student behaviors that will be measured to assess mastery of each standard.  These are very helpful.
