Kids love interactive learning and what a better way than engaging them in the written word via blogging for fun. This is a far cry from when I was a kid—sometimes I feel like kids from past generations were a bit short-changed given today's technology. Then again, maybe my predecessors felt the same way about us. Either way, very uplifting post. Your learning approach is fantastic.

I am picturing your students' faces and their reactions when they see the blogs and how excited and enthusiastic they are. It is true that most of what children learn while they were still kids are retained when they grow-up just like in my experience. Blogging on kindergarten does make it last forever.

Kids are so into technology even as tiny people. When I take my kids to swimming I often work on my laptop there, and nearly all of the other kids at the pool come over to take a look at what I have on the screen - they are so keen to use the screen. Kids like to use animoto because it's so visual and I've also found that they like starfall for learning language. Your approach is great. Kids are so into technology even as tiny people.

I may not be a teacher (my mom is by the way) but this is the very reason why the educational system needs young bloods like you to help improve the quality of learning. That's not to say that old teachers are not good! Please don't interpret it that way. But I firmly believe that embracing modern tools we have and incorporating it in a more meaningful vocation such as teaching is very admirable. Keep up the good work and I hope this method spreads worldwide :) I love this idea – using technology to capture kids’ attention at the same time help them learn new stuff.
