Cons
Cons
Students/family members can see and comment on all posts on the blog!
All comments have to be approved before publication!
You might have to keep track to make sure certain students are not... 'over' or 'under' represented... The blog indicates this clearly (maybe too clearly)
Students cannot 'reply' to each other, they just add on to the bottom of the thread of that post.
This is not a true blog, like Blogger or WordPress, so the functionality is very limited in comparison, but that is what makes it easy to use/manage
