I just had my students set up on wordpress.com it is free, though you can pay for special extras, and has what i think is the best spam protection around. oh... it took them less time to set up the blog on their own than it too me to tell them what a blog was... so that was funny.... i said 15 minutes... 2 minutes later they are staring at me...

My experience with blogs is limited to reading, and occasionally posting comments to other peoples. But during January I will be co- teaching a travel-study course We would like one of the assignments to be a travel blog for the entire class.
We will probably be able to get server space on a university computer. But I need advice on possible software/applications. At a minimum we want our students to be able to input/upload text and images (video would be nice, too). The interface needs to be relatively simple, as we will sometimes be working from cybercafés, with limited time to fuss with things. And, of course, cost is a factor. Any suggestions?
Feel free to offer advice either on or off list.
Thanks Chris
