blog conversation
man i see not why these adults make it impossible for us to use this excellent peice of communications/internet stuff because it isn't a bad thing as long as you keep personal stuff out and stick to the work you need and it allows us to get peices of our work out there and have people read it and it is not like you can force kids to write what they dont want to because they can just not but there deffinetly be some stupid little kid that will use it for something stupid but they can always be punished as if they had kicked someones face in and you just make sure to keep personal and school related blogs seperate but open for all to read (if they want to make it public and private class if they are uncomfortable with the world reading it).

I've been following your teacher's blog for some time. I'm glad he's started this project with you. I agree with what you say about "adults make it impossible for us to use this excellent peice of of communications". We, adults/teachers, need to be more trusting with technology. We trust students in sports, in shop classes with dangerous tools, and in science labs. But we seem to fear the written. Why? Because words can be the most powerful weapon. We, adults, need to learn about trust.
I think that the biggest reason of adults making it nearly impossible for the use of blogs and the internet is the fact that they're worried about privacy invasion, and the potentiality of online stalkers.
You make some good points, though.
Another reason it's "scary": Things don't go away. Google will start indexing what you say. People will extract quotes when they link to you. Even if you change an entry, the original will probably be out there somewhere.
On the bright side: There's SO much stuff out there that most of it is buried in the noise.
Something interesting for the future: Politicians (yes, you in the future) are going to have all their old blog entries pulled up.
