The remainder of the blog comments on the closure of Al Upton's Minilegends weblog. Graham Wegner cites Diane McCordell's observation that "the classroom is the logical place for students to receive safety instruction and participate in guided practice." Darren Kuropatwa posts a telling video. Kerry Johnson notes, "doing a blanket ban on images of children on the internet would only make sense if one also banned the use of images and names of kids in newspapers, television and other communications outlets." Graham Attwell asks, "How have we got to the absurd situation that Bebo, Facebook and the burgeoning Disney sites are seen as OK for kids, whilst a well thought through educational project is closed down?" And Vicki A. Davis recites the students' views on the closure, including this: "When I found out that our blogs were closing down, I felt confused, sad and angry. I felt really sad because I felt that all Al had taught us had gone to waste. We had a vote on a name for our new forum. The new name for our forum is Article 13. It means Rights for the Child."
