Who should blog in the classroom

Blogging helps to connect children inside and outside of the classroom. A valid comment was made in Charles Nelson blog; How to use blogs in the classroom he discussed comments made by other bloggers about the management of blogging with younger children.

A major point discussed was the understandings younger children have with regards to private and public information.
Publishing blogs means that the information is available to the world wide web and anyone can view the postings. Children need clear guidelines on what information they can post and what they don't.

Blogging with younger children should also have selected topics to write about. For example fictional stories and poems.

Blogging in the classroom is intended to enhance childrens learning, not put the children in danger.

Blog safely in the classroom.
