No matter what question or comment I post, I am not getting a response from you. Even a "Go back to tech school newbie" would be preferable to nothing. I find the forums too confusing as I am actually a newbie, so could I get a reply to my questions? Please? Hi James. No matter what question or comment I post, I am not getting a response from you.

This year, I started with my 7th graders. It was extremely successful, but I have found some kinks and cannot find solutions. I had wanted the kids to be able to design their own blogs, customize, add wikis, etc. I made them co-administrators with me, using the gmail hack. I was disappointed that I was unable to moderate their posts. How can I add that functionality without reducing their capabilities by now giving them the role of contributor? Is there a way? Also, several of them have figured out how to change their email (thus I am not getting notifications now) and how to edit comments. Since next year my expansion means including even younger students, is there a way to fix all of this? Right now, all I can think is that I will have to give them administrator rights for a period of time so that they can customize their blog all they want, then changing their role to contributor so that I will be able to moderate posts in addition to comments. Second: as the kids graduate, and want to keep their blogs, how do I allow them to keep their blog without being linked to my gmail account? I hope these questions aren't too rudimentary for you to tackle. Thanks. James, major question as I prepare to expand my use of edublogs for next year. This year, I started with my 7th graders.

This is a wonderful teaching tool! However, I didn't add myself as co-administrator to a majority of my students' blogs. Can I do this after the fact? How? Thanks! Ms Pari Hi!
