From a BBC News article on blogging in schools: Giving children a voice and the responsibility to use it wisely is a key ingredient in education. We are happy to help.

"What I saw made my jaw drop. I knew children would love to use this at school."

"The children using weblogs are streets ahead of their peers in IT, and they have made greater advances in literacy than we would normally expect for their age group," John adds.

"The weblog software we use, Manila, looks very much like Microsoft Word and has similar features. When you use a weblog to teach copy and paste, or changing fonts, the children are a lot more interested."
