Blogger
http://www.blogger.com/
Description:
An online service, owned by Google, that allows users to create personal or multi-user blogs. Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at a subdomain of blogspot.com. A user can have up to 100 blogs per account. Up until May 1, 2010, Blogger allowed users to publish blogs on other hosts, via FTP. All such blogs had (or still have) to be moved to Google's own servers, with domains other than blogspot.com allowed via custom URLs. Unlike WordPress, Blogger cannot be installed in a web server. One has to use DNS facilities to redirect a custom URL to a blogspot domain.

Great choice for beginners
Blogger is one of the best free blogging tool. It is fairly easy to use, it does not require any knowledge on web programming to build a good-looking blog with the customizable templates.
The tool could be used for any purpose, including education. For example, teachers could write blogs on their teaching and upload materials while students could report what they have learnt.
All features and services come for free--except if you want a custom domain name.
Blogger are great for beginners, it may not be as powerful as some other tools but it takes less time to master. -
