How many children are blogging in the classroom?

This is taken from a worldwide summary. From an online survey of teachers around the globe.

"The red pencil" blog site by vivek khemka his experiences at work include running a school in the UK (k-10), helping set-up 3 schools, curriculum development, teacher training and of course teaching. Designing Assessments,a critical key in running an effective classroom, is one of his strengths.

Vivek Khemka has exposed me to (through his site) the feature of SNAPHOTS!! this is so exciting as when you run over the links, it gives you a quick insight to what it details..

THIS WILL BE VALUABLE for assessment of childrens blogs!!!! it will give the teacher a quick glimpse of the relevance to the students research.. without having to open every single one!
