So last night I decided to start my 6 year old Blogging. I created her a Blog site and locked down all the settings so it is visible to her Aunty, myself and anyone else I let on it. I have decided to get her started with Blogs for a couple of reasons'.
Firstly; is so she can learn how to Blog so that when she is in a netbook class it will be 2nd nature to her.
Secondly; So I have a track record of her writing, sentences etc progress
Thirdly; We are in a digital era and I want her to be familiar with using Google and other apps that are available.
To start off with she will be posting whatever she wants and nothing she puts will be edited by me.
As she becomes more confident with typing I will show her how to use different fonts, sizes etc.
I don't want to overload her, I want her to enjoy doing it so that she will want to continue to learn and not see it as a chore or boring.
Right now she has posted her first post and is working on her second, she is happy as she has written 5 sentences about a Duckling.
This will be an interesting journey!!!!!!!!
