I had an idea this weekend to put together some kind of online writing club for kids.

The idea would be that it function like other extracurricular clubs but would be online, possibly hosted in a wiki. The writing could take on different forms each week, including various collaborative writing projects. It could even be broader….perhaps a “communications club”….to include other kinds of activities like podcasting, movie making, etc.

I love writing myself, and I think this would be an engaging and valuable activity for students.

Anyone know any schools doing something like this? Any ideas or thoughts?

    Sounds interesting. Consider Elgg for it. I think it would be perfect!
