Blogging with Elementary School Students

Through a contact on Twitter, I came across the work of Abby Clobridge and Eric Hinsdale on The Library of Tomorrow, an organization devoted to helping students, teachers, and librarians manage information in the digital age.

Some of their work may be especially relevant to students focusing on elementary education, including Abby's recent post on "Adventures with Kyle," an experiment with blogging in an elementary school classroom. Abby's account is very pragmatic, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of certain blogging platforms and addressing what kinds of blogging assignments and activities worked best.

We'll revisit Abby's post later this semester, along with some other research on K-12 blogging, but I just wanted to provide you with some sense of some of the material we'll be addressing in the class.
