We want to conform closely to the following protocols of blog establishment and facilitation.

Systems Steps

1  Create the Blog admin account This super Admin user will 'own' the blogs. This way management have access to them at any time. When students move from class-to-class over the years the blog can be easily accessed. And of course if anything unpleasant happens the school can take charge of the situation quickly.(each admin account can manage upto 100 blogs)

Class blogs

2  Set up the spreadsheet to act as the registry of school blogs here is a copiable sample

3  Put the details of the class blog on the spreadsheet 
URL to be schoolidteachersurname.blogspot.com eg pesbarnes.blogspot.com for a teacher Surname Barnes at Pt England school

If blogs are already created within a school take a retrospective step of adding them to the spreadsheet

4 Once the blog is created invite the teacher to be an author and then give them admin rights

Students are not authors of classblogs they can be enable to send post via email using a secret address. These posts should be set to go to drafts.
