Whilst pondering a question in previous post (Effective Assessment): How can we introduce Blogging to children, that does not completely overwhelm them? ie gently. I came across this fantastic example, for young children, that uses "talking teddies"
Morag McDonald works in Tighnabruiach, a small village in Scotland. To get her young studetns blogging she sought out help from colleagues that lived in another area. A blog and a pair of teddy bears in the picture are videoconferencing for the planning stages of their collaborative blog.
She explains that "Pupils in the primary schools involved will write for the teddies to tell the teddies' parents in the other primary school what they've been up to". This collaborative Talking teddies, is a fantasitc way to introduce young kids to blogging.
