How to Create Teacher Websites Using Blogs

As a technology coordinator for an elementary school, I have found that it is very hard to get my teachers to create and consistently update websites.

From there I created a separate blog installation for each grade level. Then, within each grade level blog I used the create new blog option to create blogs …
