Digitalk - Why should schools blog?

We asked a group of 10-11 years old (Year6) to record their thoughts on why they love to blog at school as the final entry in our Digitalk class blog showcase series. Big respect and robot high fives to the kids at Heathfield school and the inimitable Mr Mitchell (@DeputyMitchell) for their time and contributions. You can follow all the Heathfield blogs on heathfieldcps.net but you might want to specifically check out http://www.y62011.heathfieldcps.net , http://sandwich.heathfieldcps.net , http://pandora.heathfieldcps.net and http://walkabout.heathfieldcps.net. Read other awesome Digitalk posts on the BrainPOP UK POPtalk blog: http://www.brainpop.co.uk/blog/category/digitalk-2/ and the famous BrainPOP Blogging movie http://www.brainpop.co.uk/designandtechnology/ictcommunicatingandcollaboratin.... Happy blogging!

The group has it right. Commenting from people all over the world is a great reinforcement. As a constant commenter, I find I enjoy leaving comments but know how it can feel when someone takes the time to leave comments for me. An example, looked at a video clip I posted only five days back. Over 5700 views yet only two comments, one of them from a good friend. 8 thumbs up. At least I know many have seen it. :)
