Blogs are ideal - either just writing a post or using it to display some publishing. We can't have the authentic context every day so we need to take those opportunities when they come past (even if it means canning the plan and going with something new) and then use the web tools to have the virtual audience the rest of the time. Your school blogs are working towards this, it is just a pity you can't be in the classroom to make that 7 year olds writing world better again!! :-) I totally agree and I that is why I am so passionate about using web 2.0 tools to communicate children’s writing to their families and friends around the world.
