Robert Kennedy replied to Sue Scott's discussion Student blogging and parent concerns in the group Elementary School 2.0"Hi Sue,
I do a blog with my 2nd grade class. The biggest things that I do are use a made up username (like soccergirl) instead of first names, and we never discuss vital personal information on the blog. For example, a blog post about my brothers…"
Robert Kennedy replied to Robert Kennedy's discussion "The Creativity Crisis""Daniel,
