I had nearly forgotten, but last year on our trip to Washington DC I created a blog in which both students and parents could remain updated with photos and summaries of the fabulous places we visited on our tour with the 8th graders. Feel free to check it out @ http://nmsdc2013.blogspot.com/
This was more than fun for both myself and the parents who followed along. I was also able to share photos on iCloud, where parents could find the originals instead of the ones I made myself so that multiple photos could fit on one template.
While this was really cool for me, I am reaching out to you all in order to discover a way in which students can access (with limited editing rights) the blog or access some common realm where they can share their own photos and I can post them in addition to my own. Though I got some good shots, I really wished for the students' sake they could be more interactive with the blog. While they followed along, many lost interest once they couldn't really add their own content. Parents still loved it, but I image they will feel even more proud seeing a picture posted by (or at least accredited to) their own son/daughter.
Thoughts on how blogger can be better utilized in this sense?
Thanks!
