Blogging with Children

I've just started my seven year old son off with his own blog http://code-samuel.blogspot.com . I'm not sure where it is going to lead to but he is very happy to be getting hits to his page (we put a free Sitemeter counter on yesterday) and comments from his friends and family. A few days ago he managed to present his blog to his class and needless to say, he was chuffed. Mind you, it is still an effort to get him to sit and blog as he wants to be a soccer or cricket star this week :)

Today he has written a draft about a piece of chess software that we just bought. That review should be finished in the morning once he has his shoes and socks on and is ready for school. He loves the Chessmaster because it plays better than his dad hehehe. He has also reviewed a piece of free Math software that he likes called Timez Attack and would be useful to many of my readers as well as Age of Empires II. You can also see what he thought of his first Blues Festival and see why he will tell his friends about it for years to come.

cheers
