Edublogs is a well-respected free educational blogging service started two years ago by James Farmer. Since then, the service has grown in leaps and bounds, and now hosts nearly 100,000 individual blogs for teachers and students. In this episode we talk to James about the Edublogs service, where it grew from and where it’s going, and some great ideas for classroom blogging. It’s been an amazingly valuable and versatile service for the educational blogging community, and Edublogs offers one of the most cutting edge free blogging services on the Web.

I’d been trying to arrange this interview with James for a while, and coincidentally we just happened to record this on Edublogs’ second birthday. Happy Birthday Edublogs and thanks for sharing the love James!

PS. I also tried some new techniques for getting the filesize of these podcasts down a bit, and this 27 minute episode comes in at a slim 11Mb. I think the quality is still pretty reasonable, but please drop me a comment and let me know what you think.
