Comment on app used to upload last post

ScribeFire, a Firefox extension was used to post the last bit of info. Note the extra items (signs and letters) in the comments. Also a time needed to learn to use and input the information. The one thing I like is the ability to post to several blogs at once. This may be a good vehicle for the teachers to use if communicating assignments, due date reminders, etc.

I guess the same holds for students and parents in notifying all the teachers/professionals of current status of projects, emotional state, updates on daily issues. This would save time, especially if photographs or audio is available for upload.

I used both the Google Blog Dashboard to type comments directly, like this post. It's easy to get started right away.
For the student; Immediate gratification upon seeing their information, image, etc. posted; is likely to increase the likelihood of increased interest in utilizing the tool. Like any other app, the learning curve is there, so time needed in this area (life skills; computer class; resource time; language arts) will be needed, but a tool worth looking at since the base information fills many future possibilities. The Firefox Google extension that allows you to post links and more to both email, blogs and mobile devices is fairly simple.

I have found this tool the most simple thus far.
