Creating a Blog: A Workshop for Teens

"Early on, The Children's Partnership recognized that blogs, or Web logs, had the potential to be a valuable tool to encourage the development of online content created by people in local communities.

To test out the power of blogging, last year The Children's Partnership gave a workshop in Harlem, New York, to young people in an after-school program. The workshop was so well received by the students and program staff that we developed these materials into an easy-to-use curriculum packet, to help others teach teens content-creation skills.

This curriculum is available to others to use in their own communities."
