5th Grade Blogging

I enjoyed blogging with the 5th grade students. I was suprised at how well they expressed themselves and how comfortable with blogging they were. I know when I was that age I didn't know enough about technology/computers to be competent blogging. I thought they way their blogs were set up with the teacher approving all content was a safe way for teachers to blog and I really see no problem with it. One of the only concerns I can think of is making sure students understand internet safety which can easily be taught in a couple lessons. I can better understand how blogging can work in a classroom now. I may consider blogging in my classroom because of this activity.
