The children can build the blog around things that they are passionate about such as their hobbies or games that they love or talk about their pets.

Side benefits of learning how to build a website

The children get to practice English writing at the same time as they need to write content for their blog. In the class, I will highlight how they can make their writing more interesting for the reader. The child will be practising their Essay writing and if they do this consistently over a period of time, their writing skills should improve.

Doing research and writing content for their website to make it engaging to readers will, in turn, will help to improve their writing skills.

What are parents saying about the workshop?

Past Students'work

Let’s have a glance at some of the past students’ work, before we move on. For lack of space, I will only show the home page of their website. Keep in mind, these websites were built within the 3-hour workshop.

A fantasy blog about unicorns, holographic image slime by 14 year old Sherri.

A blog about travel and photography by Ralph Xie, 12 years old

A yellow racer car blog by 7 year old Ethan who is crazy about yellow racing cars, trucks and vehicles

Now, given the short time span, don’t you think these are amazing work?

You see, kids learn and benefit the most when they get their hands “dirty” and have fun. That’s why my workshop is a hands-on sessions. And I do not dictate that the children must do exactly what I taught them.

Yes, I teach them the steps, but at the same time, I give them complete freedom to explore and do what they like.

Which is why, I’m always amazed at what the kids can come up with at the end of the session.
