I’ve been busy over at my NaaceBlog gathering ideas for my blogging session at the 2006 Naace Conference. I thought I would ask my eight- and ten-year-old sons about their blogging and what they thought about moderation and other such issues.
The interview can be downloaded below. It’s about 2 MB and 12 minutes long and features me at my most inarticulate. It was impromtu after all. They make some interesting points though. It is interesting that my ten year is more worried about giving out his personal details for fear of receiving junk email rather than cyber-stalkers. I like his views on dealing with naughtiness on blogs – namely talking to the criminal about how they can learn from the naughty things they have done on their blog – as well as severely punishing them
Loved the podcast! I’ve just persuaded two of my tutorial students to use a blog for Writing practice – one of them posted on it right away, so I’m hoping it’ll make the “keep writing” imperative easier for us all. (Link on blethers)
Tasteful format, BTW ….
