How can you tell if a site is made with Drupal?

The quickest way: append /user to the URL  - if it's a Drupal site you'll be able to log in.

If there is a subdomain (e.g. site.com/main)  and the above test does not work, append /user after /main (e.g site.com/main/user).

If none of these work (the site might want to protect against spam) - try "contact" in place of "user" since most Drupal sites enable the /contact form.

Should I use a Classroom Blog or Weekly Newsletter?

I'd use Prosepoint (or your own version of it) if you'll allow students to write blog posts. Example: http://prosepoint.empowered-teacher.com - it uses Panels and "channels" so there can be posts around various topics.

But if that's too complex, still I would use blogs (so students can post their own, and comments can be added - you can make your own teacher blog post available to anonymous users, and only logged in students can see their posts if you like). Read more »
