What's on your children's minds? Check their blogs - Chris Cobbs, Orlando Sentinel
This is not your grandmother's diary, though she may log on and read it. Blogs, or Web diaries, are surging in popularity among today's youths, a tech-savvy generation that doesn't flinch at posting musings online for potentially millions -- or at least a few friends -- to see. Whether fretting over relationships or ranting about politics, about 4 million of the nation's youths are turning to blogs to share their thoughts and feelings. And nearly double that number are reading them, according to a new survey from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

Wow, once again technology in the hands of the young and they have it figured out instantly. I have to admit I am not much of a blogger, but since taking an Educational Technology course this semester as part of my degree program I have started to participate....as you see here! I am also writing a report on my experiences with blogs as an assignment for this same course. I am not sure I would have participated if I had not needed to for the course but I have since seen how useful Blogs could be in a learning environment, and ways that I could use them as a teaching tool. Thanks Ray!
