I’ve recently setup blogs for my two daughters, one is 9 (almost 10) and the other is 8. They both love to write, and we bought an iPad to make it more convenient (interesting) for them to actually get on and type up some of their hand written stories. Although they really like to write stories, I’m beginning to realize that the lack of strong typing skills means it is a turn off for them to have to transfer them to their blog.
Maybe my next experiment will be to have them use Dragon’s Naturally Speaking dictation app, to allow them to read their stories aloud as a starting point for getting their stories into the iPad.
