More Blogging By Monteney

Hello I am the Peter mentioned in Jackie's post. Since the DinoBlog we have continued to use a variety of web 2:0 applications to present our work. One of the reasons for using Blogger was that it was a public site and I felt that the children needed to learn about and use internet safety rules within a 'real world' context. The children are using a variety of social networking sites in their own homes with little or no parental controls. If schools teach internet safety always within the protective 'bubble' of an LEA Firewall, we will be failing to provide our children with the skills necessary to keep them safe outside this bubble.

We don't teach road safety to our children and then never let them cross the road.
The children love the vehicle of blogging etc to get their work out onto the internet and share with a much wider audience than just their teacher or even peers.

Best of all they can share it with their parents.
