The BBC provides a case study of what happens when an enthusiastic teacher encourages students as young as seven to blog.
Some of the children who attend the club have improved their knowledge of IT far above what is required of their age group by the National Curriculum. The Government target is for 80% of children of this age to reach level 4 by year 6. All of the webloggers have done that, and some have reached level 6. They are doing what 14 or 15-year-olds are expected to do.
You can see the kids’ weblogs “here”:http://www.hangletonweblogs.org/.
