Blogging:

 

Sites that are useful for setting up your own blog.

 

www.wordpress.com

 

www.posterous.com

 

www.blogger.com 

 

 

Video:

www.youtube.com - easy to use, but does have adverts that pop up.  In addition to this, YouTube has a massive amount of users, and every now and then, they write something silly in the comments area.  You can keep the videos private, but you need to make a decision as a school as to the best way forward.

 

www.vimeo.com - this is a nice site, that gives you 500Mb a week for free if you are using the basic package and are linked to education.  You can pay a small amount a month and you get more space and your videos are processed quicker.

 

 

Interesting sites:

 

 

 

Tips on how to make films with children.
