Why are we providing this service to school communities?

We think this technology is important for communication in today’s world, and an add-on to the Google Apps for Education that we had also implemented in schools, and we want to promote the use of blogs by everyone in school communities.

In additional, schools can also create blogs for all their Co-curriculum activities.
