“I don’t like to write.” That’s the refrain teachers have heard for a generation when they ask students why they’re struggling to complete a short, three-paragraph essay.

By encouraging students to write on their own blogs, savvy teachers are helping kids take their writing out of the classroom vacuum, and cultivate a broader audience.
