Teachers can use Kidblog as a platform for their students to publish their writing, audio, visual, or video projects. With the easy embedding features from other services like Edmodo and Glogster, students can personalize and be creative with their projects. As a teacher, you can also create a class blog as a way to communicate with parents. You can include information about daily happenings in the classroom, upcoming deadlines, and learning tips for students.

I must say that in all my years of teaching, nothing has been more powerful in motivating kids to write than blogging. They look at other students' work and then go back to revise and edit their own.”

Therefore, this platform teaches the students about positive digital citizenship and the importance of positive digital footprints. 
    Also, I think it is important that teachers share with their class clear behavioural norms around acceptable content. Having these discussions is a great way to encourage critical thinking about the appropriate ways students interact on the web, being a good cyber civilian, and dealing with cyber bullying. 
     Students also get to choose who they want to share their posts with; they can specify a different audience for each post they publish. But ultimately the teacher is the one who checks and approves the  posts and audience before they are published. Teachers can monitor all activity within the class page. 
   Once the students have written post. They can choose to either save it as a draft, ask their teacher to review it, or publish it.
