Many educators have remarked that Youngzine is a perfect complement to academic material, and can be a great resource for teachers and their classes. Learning through current events not only makes students more aware of what's going on in the world, but also helps absorb concepts better.
Youngzine provides a safe and private blog environment for classrooms - a constructive, creative and controlled way for teachers to create classroom assignments and foster discussions on current events.
Youngzine provides special features just for you, if you sign up as a Teacher:
- Each of your classes gets a unique "Classroom Code" that identifies the students in that class. Your students will join the classroom using this code.
- For each class, you can post assignments and have students respond. You can include specific articles and quizzes in each assignment.
- For each of your classes, you will see a report of your student's activities: their comments, assignment responses, points and quiz results.
These are some creative ways in which some teachers are already using Youngzine.
- Teachers allow their children to make comments on articles (public comments), take quizzes, rate articles, participate in contests -- features that are available to all.
- Teachers create custom assignments in their classrooms and have students respond and discuss, right on Youngzine! This is a great way to gauge their children's understanding and foster a discussion/debate between students.
- Some teachers ask for subjective opinions or ask to summarize an article, as a way to encourage children to think and write. As an example: "What do you think of Oxford English Dictionary's decision to add words like OMG and LOL?"
It only takes 2 minutes to get started: JOIN YOUNGZINE, go the the Classroom Tab, and create your classroom.
If you have any questions or comments, let us know - we'd love to make this work for your class.

You make no sense and it's called youngzine beacause it is for kids
I agree, I am homeschooled but I do a co-op every week.
I hate the "oh your homeschooled, how do you make friends?" thing.
WE DON'T HAVE DRESS CODES, POOR YOU!
6th grade
luv ur attitude tryn :) what do kids in school get in trouble for? socializing.
soo.... homeschoolers are not weird kids who sit at home and watch documentaries about newton's laws.
no, we are regular human beings
well.....if you take good notes, study, and listen in the lectures, then you should remember what you learned.
(please don't take this offensively)

whay kids should not go to school
1:we go to school.
2:we learn.
3:we forget what we learned
That's not necessarily true with ALL homeschoolers though.
A lot of homeschoolers take college classes when theyre in highschool, actually!
In my opinion people who are home schooled are smarter becuse there teatcher can focase on one kid not 20
I know many people who are home schooled. they are not the smartest
i'm a teacher and i was home schooled
Me too!
i'm home schooled and i love it.
Hi

SHCOOL IS OK. I LOVE BEING WITH MY FRIENDS
School is really fun especially for science experiments and some tests.It is not that hard honestly, a bit but not a lot.
School......
It is okay but even the teacher herself said she gives too much homework. Im stressed. Im in 6th grade... well this is awkward
Homeschooling is so much better than going to school.
School is awesome
