Here’s an example of primary kids using blogs

Posted March 22, 2006 |

Inspired by John’s work at Sandaig, I started a Primary 7 writing blog. So far, 8 schools have joined in.

If you visit, leave at least one comment.

This has only been going for about 10 days. Only teachers have the password to allow blogs to be posted and I moderate all comments. I don’t correct any comments and have only rejected one.

I’m happy to discuss the thinking behind this project with anyone who is interested. Essentially I want to capitalise on the sense of audience to improve writing skills.

    I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s all about giving an audience to our students’ work, showing how much it is valued.
