iPad Blogging

We use free Kidblog websites for interactive writing and as digital portfolios at our school. These are resources used to help students get started with iPad-based blogging using KidBlog.

These videos are also available in a YouTube playlist.

When you finish, read posts written by other students (in your class or in other classes) and write comments for them. Remember to write in complete sentences!

A QR Code PDF page of these videos is available via Google Drive.
