Legally, the BOT and management acting in loco parentis for the underage children who are being published on it in a variety of ways.<br />But that is not what you are talking about is it? I think a class blog has to be a team effort to be successful and the teacher , who legally has to have the Admin rights, is going to have the most suasion. And I think that is fair enough because of all the extra hours at weekends and in the holidays the teacher puts in to monitoring and maintaining it. However,<br />we have a long term research project following the dozens of blogs in our cluster of 7 schools, and it seems that the more the input is turned over to the students the more ownership they feel and the more their literacy scores rise. And students with individual blogs have a much higher degree of ownership and output.<br />Good luck with what you are doing in Team 17 :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486794203463798461noreply@blogger.com
