Helping my preteen with her passion for blogging
Posted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 7:32 pm
Hi everyone!
We currently use Bob Jones Online so my daughter (age 12) has a "blog" connected with her online school log-in. Most likely we will be moving towards using just the books next school year instead of watching the videos online (since I end up teaching all the lessons anyway). I'm assuming that when we switch from online videos, she will no longer have access to her profile and online buddies.
So...I need to find her a replacement. She loves to connect with kids her age. She likes to write things in her "blog" about movies she likes, things she does with her friends, etc. Is there somewhere on line that is NOT connected to a particular curriculum that is safe for her to network with other kids like her? I realize that there are places like Facebook but I'm not quite ready to let her loose in Facebook-land yet.
Ideas?
