Elementary School Blog Users

An elementary school in Frederick County, Md. began using a blog after a feild trip to a Native American Reservation. The teacher, Mrs. Marrisa L. Dudiak, commented that "It allowed them to interact with their peers more quickly than a journal...Mrs. Dudiak [also] said she found that those who were quiet in class usually came alive online." Although the posts were filled with typical second grade grammar and spelling mistakes, the children enjoyed it and it was a great experience.
