What is a blog? According to Google, a blog is short for weblog - a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site.

With the growing popularity of blogs, School World now offers a new Blogging module. District administrators or teachers can post topics, thoughts or new ideas.

The blogging experience is about connecting with students, parents or community members and receiving feedback. It can be an excellent communication tool.

Features:

• create unlimited blogs
• allow for individuals to post comments
• ability to authorize/edit comments
• display comments when viewing
• add images to a posting
• password-protect each blog

Latest Freebies

• Form Creator - when downloading data, we now allow you to choose which fields to download rather than all fields.
• Feedback/Contact Us - we now require a 4-digit code to be entered when submitting feedback in order to prevent robot spamming. If you do not see this feature on your site, please let us know and we will add it.
• Page Images - on 'large view' images, we added a Next Photo link so visitors can view all images on the page within the popup window.
• Job Applicant Tracker - added the ability to create and modify lists of applicants. List reviewers will only have access to the lists assigned to them and not the entire database of candidates. Districts can also upload files to each account that the candidate cannot view.
• Teacher Pages - in the Homework section, teachers can now choose not to display assignments on their classroom calendar.
