Maybe you should have done some research (that's what good journalists do) before you jumped to conclusions.

I've toyed with the idea of having students blog for over two years now. I'd always bailed on the idea because I couldn't figure out how to do it safely. Last week my students jumped right in with me on our blogging adventure using TweenTribune and haven’t stopped since. I was amazed at how engaged the students were in news.

My fifth-grade students have loved TweenTribune! The day I introduced the site and let them browse, I was going out to get other teachers to come and see what was going on in my room. The productive buzz was unbelievable!

One of my students hates to write, yet he published two blogs on his first day on the site. He said, "I really like this!" He was truly proud of being a published writer.

After only a few minutes on your site today, my students are hooked and love the content. They really like that they can respond and be heard. I want to thank you for creating something that is truly interesting for my 6th grade students.

All my students had positive comments about the site. They all said it was site organized and easy to navigate. I have no suggestions because they said it's great as is.
