Step by Step to Create a Class Blog

In a class blog, all your students can be authors. Therefore, they can all publish.
To set it up, let's check the control panel on the left.

Click on "Configuración" or "Settings".  In here, you will see the only author is you. All your students should be added here. All authors must have a Gmail account.


You can make your blog safer if you choose the second option: Private - Only blog authors.


Whether you want to keep your blog "public" for anyone to read or private (with a set readers list or only the authors), we recommend you adjust the settings for the comments, to make sure you moderate all comments made.
Choose who you want to be able to comment, and select Moderate Always.

Your class blog is ready!
