 Benefits of blogging for Children:

Now that students have settled into their school routine and developed basic reading, writing and ICT skills, it’s time to utilise and build on these skills to:

 
·         develop reflective learners 

·         strengthen and share student voice

·         create literacy through different mediums
 

By blogging with our students we aim to help nurture and grow the 21st century global learner by instilling safe online practises and highlighting the importance of a positive digital footprint.
