Managed Blogs for Teachers and Students

After our Ocean Blogging session at NMEA, a couple of folks asked about solutions that would work for teachers, students or for closed teams. What I recommended verbally has coincidentally just been written up nicely by Wesley Fryer. It is an extensive post that introduces the options for hosting your own blog or using a service like Wordpress or Blogger.

Sciday: Ocean Blogging…from Underwater?!

[via Engadget]

Welcome to the first installment of what I hope to make a weekly feature: Scidays. Inspired by Ira Flato (among others), I’ve decided to devote a post at the end of the week to science and technology news.

Underwater Blogging

I told my wife that someday I will be able to blog while underwater. She replied that I was already all wet. But the day of my dream might ever be so nearer with the xTablet T8700 from Mobile Demand.

The T8700 is actually billed as water-proof and not really for use at depth. But it is a nice counter-example of something I’ll be writing a bit more about tomorrow, which is the fragility of electronic devices as a barrier to their wider use in environmental education.

Also, if you know of devices that are rated for scuba and that could really be used for underwater blogging, let me know.
