Kids' Blogs

As we have only nine pupils we have a limited audience for any work the children produce. While we do have a webpage it's very time consuming to be publishing in this manner. I decided to use weblogs because they are so easy to set up. We were already using one for the schools newsletters and to publish the odd story. After attending a course at the Navcon2 conference I decided that each child would set up their own weblog, allow for new comments, and link to our webpage for photos and information about the school. This was completed fairly quickly with a comment being recieved from Mexico within the first 20 minutes. I am a little apprehensive about this being an open forum so we will have to keep a close eye on this. The next step is to get some help from Rachel our ICT facilitator to link back from individual photos on our webpage.
