Shea Chat and Chew Club -example of pvlearners blog

You might want to check out what students are reading and writing about at Shea. Note that teacher allows students to use an "alias" to personalize it a bit. But the alias is tied to pvlearners account, so monitoring can still be had.

Nice work - kids reading and writing through this media - life is good....;-)

Easy Creation of Class Distribution List

Creating a "Contacts Group" works by putting email addresses in spreadsheet column, then copy and paste column into a "Group" of pvlearners. Column of email addresses can be obtained by period sorting a downloaded spreadsheet from pDAT (My Roster). Don't copy and paste names, just email addresses. Sweet.....;-)

Simple and Simple to Create Web Pages

Short Version: create a "doc", edit how you want, then "publish" the doc (to invites only, pvlearners only, or to anyone on the web).

Have fun with collaboration by "sharing" the "doc", then "publishing" to the web.
