Before ‘Archie’s Blog’ falls off the edge of the Internet forever I thought I’d better jump in and save the posts.
Digital creativity is not just about creative use of technology for the making of film and music. Archie had been keeping his blog for a period of months. Archie is only four years old. Archie is the little brother of one of our work experience students, who was also part of ‘The Real Project’. Imagine the power of Archie being able to reflect later in life on his early creative writing?
Imagine the debate potential Archie would be having with his family as they are kept up to speed (all over the world) with what he is doing? Archie is engaging in conversations with friends and family though ‘comment’ feature on his blog, a wonderful way to challenge his thinking and responding skills. What about spelling? Will this help him learn to spell new words? Will it create new words in his vocabulary as he asks his sister what things mean?
Notice how Archie begins to communicate with his growing audience. What is that doing to his self confidence? A really creative blog.
How does a four year old conduct online? Archie’s Blog has been a really good experiment, well done to Amy, Archie’s sister.
Blogging really is a powerful medium. Ultralab have a lot of experience with blogs, and we think Archie’s is excellent. Remember to read in your best four year old voice…..
