Student Blogging is Contagious!

Not even a fortnight after we launched the Student Scribe program in the classroom, two of my students have created their own blogs. One is a journal that the student is using to post events and photos from her life, while the other is an online magazine for teenagers. Imagine how much those students - currently 11 years old - will know about the consumer market, business and design, by the time they are ready to leave school. Think of the skills that are required to compile and edit an online magazine. And think of the intrinsic motivation that occurred for this to become a reality in the first place. Students who don't exhibit traditional 'academic' skills thrive in the online environment - a place where creativity is valued and appreciated. How are we setting kids up to succeed, if they're struggling in the current curriculum?
