According to a recent article, about 23 percent of children in nursery school -- kids age 3, 4 or 5 -- have gone online, according to the Education Department. My children are part of the 23%. I never let them go online unguided. They are usually in my lap and we visit kids web sites or send an email to grandparents. Tonight, I showed them how I can "put their drawings into the computer" and add them to Mommy's blog. Harry asked, "Mommy, what's a blog ..." I told him it was a web site that similar to journal that he writes in paper but the blog is on the computer/Internet so other people can read it. (He writes a journal in Kindergarten, so he made the connection.) He then asked me, "Does that mean other people will see my drawing and tell us what they think about it?" I said, yes, people do that, but not all the time.
