Today, I spent some time exploring the various capabilities of three popular blogging platforms; Blogger, Word Press, and Edu Blogs. I had intended to write a blog post about some of the ways that teachers can accessorize their blogs to keep students and parents frequently checking it for updates. I still do plan to write that blog post, but before I do that I think it might be important to share some video tutorials about setting up a blog for the first time. Below are three videos explaining how to set up a blog for the first time using Blogger, Word Press, and Edu Blogs.

Here is the Blogger basics tutorial.

Here is a Word Press step-by-step tutorial.

Here is an Edu Blogs tutorial. You may also want to view the screencasts on the Edu Blogs homepage.
