Managing Edublogs
This section of the site is to help School Leaders and Facilitators with processes that establish new edublogs within a school or cluster that ensure connection with Hāpara etc. We are developing a number of tools here to support you in this mahi.
The go to place to look at to see who has an edublog connected to hāpara, the blog feed etc. Searchable
To create a blog with the theme widgets and organistion submit using this form
To create a new edublog account for a teacher that doesn't have one use this form.
A learner has come to a new school that already has a blog. Associate their new email address with their blog. The database that Hāpara looks at is updated using this.
This is especially important for secondary schools.
The Hero Image is the image banner across the top of edublogs. These can be changed to represent your school, or cluster.
If you need support with managing edublogs you can email our support team at awhina@manaiakalani.org
We want every active learners blog to have pro privileges. Blog upgrades are reviewed once a month. We gather two pieces of data to confirm if a blog needs to be upgraded to maintain pro status.
1. Current Activity: We define “current” as having posted within the last three months.
2. Enrolment Status: Blogs associated with learners marked as “left” on transition sheets will not be upgraded.
If a learner’s blog loses it’s pro subscription, learners are still able to publish text and image posts and include links if they choose the option for free. How to do this if unsure
Once they resume posting, their blog will be upgraded in the next monthly review.
Sometimes you know a learner (or a teacher's class blog) is going to be an active edublogger and needs an upgrade asap. You can request these through the upgrades request form on the Edublogs Health Looker.
