Hello,

I am trying to convince our admins. to allow our district's elementary
media specialists to facilitate a 4th and 5th grade reading/book club
type blog. Students would participate voluntarily and learn parameters
for what makes a good book review. We would have a different theme each
marking period; e.g. genres, Newbery, etc.

Blogs and wikis aren't filtered (yet), and we're trying to show that
blogs can be safe and educaional. Our district is quite conservative and
wary of allowing students a presence of any kind on the Web.

Please respond to me off list if you have a success story involving
blogs, literature, and upper el age students. We'd like to share your
experiences with our admins.

Thanks!

Laura
