Blogging 101–Web logs go to school

Blogging 101–Web logs go to school | CNET News.com

Fisher set up online personal journals–Web logs or blogs–this fall for each of his students at Joseph H. Kerr School in the Canadian town of Snow Lake, Manitoba. His combined seventh- and eighth-grade class generates about a dozen entries a day on topics ranging from classroom assignments to weekend plans, which Fisher reviews before posting online.

It is interesting that when some of my collagues as their college students about Blogs they get a weird look. However, fifth graders are working wit them already! Now, I speculate that the reason many college students don’t recognize blogs is that they simply view them as websites, but that is a different topic. By starting young, blogging can become a part of the culture. Personally, I am thinking of incorporating it in my classes as well.
