B stands for blog

Children as young as seven in one British school are using weblogs as part of their normal routine, and are doing better than non-webloggers as a result, their teacher says. Weblogs, easy-to-use personal journals published on the internet, get children more interested in school work they might otherwise have disliked, says junior school teacher John Mills.

If blogging is being taught at schools, it must be going seriously mainstream. I think this is essentially a good idea - it not only teaches kids a little bit about technology and internet, it can also help them with language and communication skills. (I've also seen blogs being used as tools by lecturers in universites - it's a good and interactive way of communicating with students.)
