Back by popular demand for a third year! Who likes this session better, the kids or the parents? We’re not quite sure 🙂
What’s WordPress for Kids? Kids are hungry to participate online and not just sit back, observe and wait their turn to be a blog-writing, site-building, individual with an online space to call their own. They’re aching to get their hands dirty and have their voices heard. With WordPress, the sky is the limit! Its streamlined and simplified user interface is so easy to learn, your child can set up a site and be blogging in no time.
Having this knowledge not only opens up an instant online home for them to enjoy right away, it sets them up for a lifetime of being ahead of the curve and could even result in a career in web design.
We’ll start the session by walking through setting up a basic WordPress.com site and then break into smaller groups. Have your child come in with a basic game plan in mind. If your child wants to blog but aren’t sure what they want to blog about, here are some ideas to get them started!
- School projects
- Photos of LEGO creations
- Short stories or poems
- Book reviews or a book club
- Host a fundraiser or support a charity
- Recipes
- Photography
- Pets
- Career ideas
- Homework help
- Babysitting tips
- Music
- And much more!
