Kids’ Views on Blogging

6 12 2008



After our initial class blog, I had the children write what they thought about blogging.  Honestly, I was hoping to get something funny to put here.  Alas, my children were dead serious in all their answers.  But, I am going to post some of the answers anyway because Drew might find a use for them in his data collection.

AA – I think the blogging is fun.  I think we should do blogging again.  I think it’s productive.  I think it helps with typing and computer skills.  That’s why I think we should do it again.

CO – It was fun to talk to each other with the computer because we had silly names!  Plus, some people like to use technology like me.  You learn to type with other kids.  You can write a comment or question about what they write.  You get to answer other people’s questions that they ask you.  YEAH!!!  That is my favorite part about blogging.

AR – Although some of us didn’t stay on the topic, we still did learn.  It was a bunch of fun.  We learn how to be polite on the internet.

AN – Today when we did blogging it was fun because I got to know other people’s opinions.

WI – It was so much fun!  It will really help me with my typing.

JA – I thought that this was a fun way to talk online and learn.

CH – It was a good experience.  I like blogging.  It is fun and exciting.  You can ask questions!

EL – I think blogging is a fun way to show your feelings.  Blogging can help fins answers and that made it fun.  Blogging is also fun because you don’t know who you are chatting with.  You can learn a lot by hearing what people have to say.  You can also write back to the person and that is fun too.

Be – Blogging was great.  I loved posting my opinion.

So, there you are.  Straight from the kids – their opinions on blogging.  I noticed that they really enjoyed the fact that they could ask questions.  Don’t we all want to ask a question and not feel dumb?

great comments, anonymous. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate the comments about asking questions, and your summary is spot on. I also like that you’re using this venue to teach etiquette on the net! I’m feeling very good about how prepared your students will be for civil discourse on the web.
