Test bloggers starting Thursday

So I met with the teacher who has agreed to have his fifth grade class test this blogging idea. He is going to use the NSD blog feature of his class web page and secure it with a password and post a couple of questions for the students to answer using the comment feature. For the fifth grade (elementary) this is more practical for the teacher with only 25 students. Eventually, he would like each student to begin a blog to replace the current paper Reading Response Journals that he currently totes around to read and reply to students. The student's individual blogs will be perfect for this purpose.
