While many blogging platforms are very easy for kids to work with, even easier is Glogster. I like this one because it makes multimedia easy like adding backgrounds, pictures and video. It’s more like a showcase Website than a blog, but you could use it as such. But just because it’s easy to use doesn’t make it simple. There are a lot of very nice, intricate, and creative work up there.
Part seven of my seven part series: Why you should let your children blog.
7. Blogging can make your child a better person.
Creativity expands to your child’s limits. Writing about about something interesting gets the creative juices flowing. And children and teens need outlets for their energy, creativity and burgeoning independent individualistic spirits.
Blogging can be an extracurricular activity that keeps them busy.
Regularly maintaining a blog—writing new posts, responding to comments, researching information to provide on the blog, adding new pictures and videos, etc—is a great lesson/opportunity for responsibility and discipline.
