A student of mine is thinking about setting up a blog for her son daughter and asked if I knew of any kids who blog. Liz Lawley's do, I think. What about others? (Makes me wonder about the age demographics of social software users in general, especially in light of Granny D's guest-blogging stint over at Lawrence Lessig's this past week.)
A quick google search turned up this BBC article, which waxes enthusiastic about the idea of youth blogging, but skips right over the potential hazards (spam and worse). Has anyone come across a set of guidelines for parents or teachers who want to set up blogs for the under-twelve crowd?
