Posted at 01:20am on 15th July 2009
My daughter, a teacher, told me that children are now being encouraged to blog and would I please get her two to do so. Polly loves reading and writing; Sean loves typing on a keyboard. Here is the result of their first blog which tells the story of the play they put on for our benefit this afternoon. Apart from the title, and credits, this is entirely their own work.

I think this is brilliant, though I am a bit biased because I am
their daddy.

I recently attended an educational ICT conference and went along
to a ‘Blogging in the Classroom’ seminar. I had not
really thought about 'blogging with children' beforehand
but came away with ideas of how to go about it: start by reading
blogs with children about things of interest to them e.g. cats or
lego; move on to commenting on the blogs they have read; and then
finally begin, together and safely, to help them write their own
blogs.
We were given an excellent website - 20 days to better blogging
with children: "http://literacyresourcesandideas.edublogs.org/20-days-to-better-blogging-with-children/">
http://literacyresourcesandideas.edublogs.org/20-days-to-better-blogging-with-children/
and told about a project run by the British Council ( "http://www.britishcouncil.org/etwinning-blogs-project-primary.doc">http://www.britishcouncil.org/etwinning-blogs-project-primary.doc)
to encourage blogging by children in different countries entitled
‘The Schoolbag - what is in your schoolbag? blog about
it!’
What a brilliant way to start – even with young children
– and for them to learn about children in other countries.
Can't wait to get back to school next term and try out
'blogging' with my 5 year olds.
