III.  They are awesome kids, and would love to be able to play with these blogs, but really.  They have minimal reading/spelling skills, and almost zero computer skills.  Of course they would learn how to do some of this, but we also don’t have the computers available in our rooms to work with on a regular basis.  The kids would also struggle with the technology aspect, since few have computer access at home.
