The Scoilnet blogging service allows schools to easily develop a school website or school blog and host it for free under the schools broadband programme. The blogging service supports different types of content, including text, images, audio, including podcasts and video clips.

Some sample blogs

To support schools, the NCTE also runs the following course entitled, 'Creating your School’s Website using Scoilnet Blogs'.

How does my school get access to this service?
If your school wishes to apply to use the Webhosting-blogging service, the following are the steps you'll need to take.

1. First an ‘Online Name’ is required. To obtain one, go to https://onlinenames.scoilnet.ie/ for further details. A letter was sent to your school principal with login access details in May 2008. If you do not have these login access details you may contact the NCTE Service Desk at 1800 33 44 66, and they will assist you.
2. School Principals are required to complete and sign the Web Hosting Application Form  as part of the application process. Schools should then return the signed application form to the NCTE Service Desk (address details are included on the form).
3. Application forms will be processed by the NCTE Service Desk and where forms are fully completed, login details for the webhosting-blogging service will be sent to the school, along with other relevant information.
