Learning as a Way of Teaching

We are spending our last school day in the computer lab finishing up our space pages.  The students have really created some excellent looking sites and a few of them are ready to tackle adding a blog to the project.  I have used learner-blogs in the past, and I wanted to use them again here.

The hurdle I had to overcome was creating student blogs without an e-mail account for all of my students.  The Gmail trick is the answer, but Gmail is blocked by our Internet filter.  However, the filter cannot stop my iPhone!  HA HA!!!  So I registered my students using a Gmail alias that goes to my Gmail account, that I then retrieve using my iPhone.  I am able to activate the blogs and have the students blogging in no time.
