They don’t need all the bells and whistles of Edublogs. I’m recommending that these teachers use our Tiger Blog tool available through our web-based Tiger Mail. This software is hosted locally on one of our servers. You will find it to be very dependable, fast, and easy to use. If you can send an email, you can do this.

Here are a few example blogs published by Willard Teachers:

I have published a short Tiger Blog handout and set of screencasts. To view a screencast click the title below:

If you need further assistance with using the Tiger Blogging tool, please let me know.

The Fusion: Podcasting webpage offers a handout and short video tutorials (screencasts) to lead you through the steps of podcasting.

And, there’s more! If you want to earn 3 Salary Advancement Workshop hours while you podcast, you can enroll in the free, online professional development, Moodle course: Podcasting.

Just in time learning, at your convenience!
