    Hi

    I just started as a Media teacher in a high school here in Oslo, Norway. And I plan on introducing WordPress instead of Dreamweaver in 2-3 high school classes.
    So I am asking for some feedback/advice.

    Some of the questions that arise are:

    Should I use wordpress.com? And ask each student to make their first blog/web site there.

    Should I create a multisite on either the schools server or on one of my own domains?

    Ask the students to find themselves a free host to where they can add their wordpress install?

    I am thinking of teaching them MAMP to install a local wordpress install. Then use the plugin Duplicator to pack up the site and upload it.

    That are the questions that pop up right now. Thanks for thoughts, feedback, advice, tips etc etc.

    Have a great day!

    Teachers planing day.

    20 November

    I gave the students a new assignment today. They were to find a site that they liked and copy it the best they knew how into a new local site in WordPress. A fun assignment for them.

    27 November

    They continued to work on the sites.

    Just a few Tuesdays left before Christmas. Tomorrow the students have a study day for their English Christmas exam. Tuesday next week some students will have another study day others will continue to work with their sites. Tuesday after that something else is going on.

    I have already copied most of my thread posts to my desktop and plan on adding them to another site.
