Or you need to log in as the student. @broadcastmedia, unfortunately you either need to get the student to log in and delete the blog or delete you as user. Or you need to log in as the student.

Any help would be great. I set these up last year but ran out of time to try and fix them. Many thanks for trying to get an educational version of blogging. I would love to get more into this as I feel it would be great in younger schools as well. ~Cheers Mell I had set up a load of student email accounts for some reason it didn’t work 1 year on I want to delete many of them as I also set myself up as an administrator of their blog as well as themselves I can delete them but it will not allow me to delete their account as I am administrator of it as well so I have load of blogs I don’t want but cannot get rid of them?

Go to the dashboard of the blog you wish to delete, go to Settings, go to Delete Blog. There will be a button to push, which will send you an email that you must click on to finish the process--done! @mrsbeckerrocks,

I can't find a simple solution anywhere the website. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. How do I just delete a blog so that I don't have to deal with it anymore?

Thanks for sharing the excellent point about the comments which you can use to teach new student how to comment -- another great tip I can give to others for reasons why not to start with a new blog. @Mrs. Yollis, I’ve found it really interesting the different approaches educators take with their class blogs.

I started a classroom blog last fall and really enjoyed the process. When it came time to think about what I should do this year, I really struggled with the idea of leaving it and beginning a new blog. My classroom blog is a blogger account and I have lots of space left in it, so I decided to just keep posting with my new students. I am so glad I did. First of all, the students seem to enjoy reading the stories in the archive on their home computers. But, what I really love, is that I am able to use the old comments to teach my new students *how* to comment. Already, many of my third graders are commenting on our blog and what they are writing is very good! I am so glad I kept the blog. The old comments have been a real resource. Funny when you stumble on to something that really works for you! Thanks, Linda Yollis Hi Sue!
