Blogging is…

One of the slides here refers to Peter Ford’s “coffee shop analogy”. To explain: when I go into a coffee shop I do so because I want a caffeine hit - I order a double espresso (preferably Fairtrade - I try to remember to ask). My blog is a bit like that: lot’s of writing and the occasional picture!

What would a child order? A tall chocolate with cream on top, sprinkles, marshmallows and one of those twizzle stick things. It’s drink as entertainment. Blogging is a bit like that, it’s digital paper that children can use to explore, develop and play with their ideas, bring in movies, slideshows, presentations, mindmaps, virtually any kind of multimedia you would care to mention.

Blogging is all about ENGAGEMENT.
