Cultivating the next generation of bloggers

When I was in elementary school, apples were in the cafeteria. Now, it seems that Apples are just about in every classroom making the learning experience much more dynamic. There was a recent story on ABC news about Ed Stafford, explorer and blogger. Unlike the majority of blogs on the internet, Ed's blog, Walking the Amazon, is specifically aimed at children. Having read the blog (Ed was one of the first to use blogging as a form of childhood education), I find it thoughtful and engaging. Currently, Ed's blog is following his travels through the South American rainforest. The layout includes many videos which help bring the challanges and joys of his adventures to the classroom. Hopefully this blog will inspire others to help enrich the learning experience for the next generation and inspire future bloggers.
