Minimonos - "Story-telling for a better world"


Gwen Walton-Wegener talks at WordCamp about Minimonos, a kids blogging and game site - "MiniMonos is a virtual world for children, focused on sustainability, generosity, community and fun. We're based in New Zealand". Walton-Wegener opines that kids who are online are more likely to be writing generally. Encouraging blogging brings about interesting developments such as kids enjoying having the "first scoop"; building own blogs using Wordpress, writing html code, using images... no limits to what they can achieve. Kids are just as involved in social media as we are. "Kids who blog are really inspiring!"
