Bl0gging for pupils

Blogging for pupils..What's your opinion about it?

Well, as for me, I feel that blogging has more pros than cons. Blogging could draw out a young writer and open the doors to their future. Employing blogs help to develop good spelling habits, grammar skills, and develop a love for writing at a young age. It is an innovative concept that has potential benefits.

Blogging helps to increase communication with friends, teachers and even parents. Since blogging will be presented to an audience, pupils will learn to take pride in their work and will want to present their ‘best’ work. Thus, it develops pupils' confidence and get a real sense of fulfilment from publishing their work. The automated spell-checking function helps pupils to be aware of their spelling errors when they occur. Also, pupils getting acquainted with keyboards at a young age could help them to become familiar with their layout and function.

However,there are cons of blogging for pupils. Since blogging involves the Internet, teachers should educate pupils about the dangers of the Internet. The Internet is global in its reach and developing safe Internet habits at a young age is important.
