This is an excellent post. This is always the challenge for all of us. All kids don't love to blog, anymore than all kids love to do math. It is not a panacea. It is about trying to find ways to release the potential energy as you say. A blogging community thrives and drives, dips and curves. It has its high points and its low points across a school year and for each individual student. There are times when it all seems to be coming together and others when it seems to be falling apart. While it may never be central to your group of kids, don't ever think any efforts to expand their voices and give them experience working with an audience is wasted effort; beacause it simply isn't.
