(the founder of Edublogs)
- "if I didn't have my own domain I
would use this service (it seems like I recommend it
every day to another teacher)"
David Parry
- "
I send so many faculty to edublogs and their students to
uniblogs to their blogging delight. The set up is easy
and their support/training site is strong! While we
could set up blogging on campus, students creating
content that is outside of the confines of the school
feels like a good idea and it certainly is a way for
them to really take ownership of their work even after
the course is over. Free. Thanks Mr. Farmer! "
