    "Mrs. Yollis not only teaches her second-graders to blog (some of whom came into her class with blogging experience from Mrs. Levy's first grade blog), she teaches them - and her students make videos to teach others - about raising the level of online discourse through quality blog comments"

    For those interested in Web 2.0 tools for primary grades ...

    My daughter is in the 3rd grade and my son is in the 5th grade. They have both occasionally used blogs at school to post about classroom activities. These weren't personal blogs but were set up by the teacher so that parents could feel involved and the students could get some additional writing experience. For them, this was a lot more fun than just having to write on paper. However, the blogs would often start out great with posts at regular times, but then it would get to be less and less and then stop. Seems as though there is too much to do and not enough time to get it done! On a side note, I was already looking into how to do a wordle for our next blog post and my daughter told me that she has done those lots of times at school! So, it is nice to learn from my 3rd grader about some of these tools!

    One thing that really stands out to me is Mrs. Yollis is overcoming the fear of using the blogs in her class by providing education on how to blog (example: video on commenting) and teaching personal responsibility (ex: how to have a positive digital footprint). That is a great example for any grade or age.

    It seems like I am constantly butting heads in real life with people who still don't grasp that what is said online matters. We've all been regular Internet users for 15 years, and these people still don't get that online discourse should be more than trolling. I would hope that more classes like this one at all ages could help to change the culture.
