Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week – Quadblogging

One of the challenges teachers face when starting new classroom blogs is getting enough comments on students’ posts to keep them excited about writing blog posts. QuadBlogging can help teachers tackle that challenge.QuadBlogging is a free service that matches four classrooms together to follow and comment on blog posts. Register your class for QuadBlogging and you will be matched with three other similar classrooms. After being matched, it is up to you and the other teachers in your quad to continue the blogging relationship for as long as you would like. Learn more about the QuadBlogging concept in the video below.
