I stumbled onto this blog in June 2007 and quickly read about all the different online tools available for students. I even read this post about kids blogging and lumped it into the section of my brain marked "I've already read stuff like that". It was not until yesterday that this information moved to the "Great idea" section of my brain while I was setting up a blog as part of a staff development project for work and added this site to my Blogroll. My 9 year old son has been on a quest for a hobby since the beginning of the school year. He does a lot of stuff (basketball, playing the violin, gamecube...) but I guess he didn't think they were hobbies. Everyone in our family has been helping him on his quest by making suggestions, taking him to the bookstore for ideas and even viewing YouTube videos (my 16 year old son's contribution). While I was viewing your blogroll, my son saw Samuel's blog. Wow, was the sound I heard from my son. He immediately wanted to read the blog description and was amazed that a 7 year old was blogging. Prior to that moment he didn't really know what a blog was, all he kept saying was, "That's a cool website, can I do that?" He enjoyed reading many of Samuel's stories and decided he would blog for his hobby. While I setup his blog (http://blogbending.blogspot.com), he decided the title, theme and topics he wanted to cover. Thanks again, Denise Hello Adrian,
