Welcome to our blog! '"Blogging" is short for "web logging". Blogs are a great way for teachers to provide parents with a window into classroom activities and for students to post messages on the teacher's blog regarding lessons they have learned.'
'Most blogs on the internet today are not permission-based; that is, they can be viewed and commented on by anyone with access to the Internet, anonymously. While this could be a great form of expression, it may not be consistent with our curriculum. Therefore, ePals recommends an educationally relevant approach to blogging to restrict access and user functionality and keep the blog focused on classroom activities. We call this our "walled garden" approach which gives the teacher control to "moderate" what content appears on the site. These "moderation" functions are built in to each of ePals's services.'
We hope you and you child find our blog useful and a valuable tool for sharing and learning!
