On to my second session, Open Source Blogging Solutions for Publishing Student Writing. Our presenter, Christopher Craft (christophercraft.com), so far has been the best I have seen of the conference.He showed us four open-source blogging options for our classrooms, Wordpress, Wordpress Multi-User, DrupalED, and Moodle. He has used all of these resources in his 6th grade classroom and posts his blog online at crucialthought.com.
Chris didn't overload us with a lengthy PowerPoint, but rather spoke to the issues that we were most likely concerned with. Chris was obviously extremely knowledgeable, and yet was able to communicate in a way that really helped me see the value in classroom blogging (particularly through one of these sites)!
