Four of us did, but we're not required to at my school (or in the district as a whole). <br /><br />I'm not sure why he suggested that platform. I think he thought it had fewer ads/links than other sites, but I sort of wish I stuck with Blogger (a separate user account though) because it's simple enough to turn off ads, and I find Blogger more customizable (and since I'm so familiar with it, easier to use). <br /><br />So yes, it's pretty much my own creation. I have a free download here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-to-Create-a-Classroom-Website-Blog-716707 that has help on how to go about creating a blog for a classroom. :) amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252920643013195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323199342928849197.post-71482046830963104072014-01-01T22:20:43.487-05:002014-01-01T22:20:43.487-05:00I still don't understand the whole cloud thing...I still don't understand the whole cloud thing. I only use my iPad for school related things and don't use the same passwords or anything as I do on my personal (non iPad) machines, so if there's anyone poking around the cloud they won't get much from me!amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252920643013195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323199342928849197.post-74398408327159189312013-07-04T21:44:31.610-04:002013-07-04T21:44:31.610-04:00is your classroom blog an entire school system thi...is your classroom blog an entire school system thing?

He let me know that you don't need the app to watch the videos online, so I was able to put links on our classroom blog. I really hope my students take advantage of them!amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252920643013195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323199342928849197.post-35036587109393821722013-04-13T23:05:34.591-04:002013-04-13T23:05:34.591-04:00Educreations is great, I use it to record a math l...Educreations is great, I use it to record a math lesson that I know some of my kiddos will struggle with. That way if they are stuck and I am working with someone else they can watch the video as a reminder. I've never tried to attach it to a blog, sorry!<br /><a href="http://hunterteachingtales.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Hunter's Tales from Teaching</a><br />Bethany Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304642220863454586noreply@blogger.com
