Blog Spam

This blog post has been the victim of blog spam. As a result the comments for this post have been turned off. I will continue to develop this post as more of our teachers begin to utilize this powerful communication tool in their classrooms. Comments on this blog will be accepted via email. If you have a post like this one that contains more than 3 links, and  your post is open for comments, you could be a target for Blog spam.  The best solution is to turn off comments on post like these. Open the post, and uncheck “Allow Comments” and “Allow Pings” under ”Discussion”. However if the post is for a specific session and you need to interact with an audience consider opening the post for comments for a short period of time. Changing the name of the post using the “Post Slug” is a temporary solution.
