  • Blogging Tool at your my.uen 

Teachers asked for it, now it's here. You can now add blogs to your my.uen pages . Not just one blog, mind you, but a blog for each tabbed section. Some teachers are now using this feature to prompt authentic creative writing. They publish a writing prompt on their my.uen blog and then assign students to respond in the comments section of the blog.
