    Wow those are the brilliant reasons we want to start blogging in class with our children. I am going to link this to my school’s blog for all to share.

    Thanks for sharing on this innovative and fabulous day.

    This is a fantastic list. We are some adults putting together a blog called One Change a Day. We are doing a big online course called Change 11. There are about 2000 people doing this course. We would like to use your blog post in our blog. Would that be alright with you. We would really like to hear some student voices ! … you can see our blog at http://moocblogcalendar.wordpress.com. Hope to hear from you or your great teachers….
