Create a Newpaper from Your Students' Blogs
FeedJournal.com lets any blogger create one free PDF newspaper from their blog RSS. All you need to do is sign up with an email address, click on the "publisher" link, add the RSS feed for your blog and click on the "Generate Your Free Newspaper Now" button. The link to the pdf and a widget to embed in your blog will be sent to your email.
During the promotion period the free newspaper can include up to 20 pages.
Unfortunately the widget didn't work for my blog - however I uploaded the pdf to issuu.com and scribd.com in order to show 2 alternatives for embedding the newspaper.
In order to view the fullsize simply click on the widget below.
