The more I look through other teachers blogs the more I think to myself that this is completely possible. I also think that the younger students start using technology and the more comfortable they become.

This is a new perspective that I haven't heard before, yet, I completely agree. Blogging for children is about their ability to share their knowledge and personal opinion about a topic. When students are young they do not know that they are persuading their readers to think in a certain way. Yet, it is a good skill for them to start using young.
