BBC NEWS | Technology | Where spam comes from It's terribly depressing to find out how much spam there is - especially the "brute force" attacks mentioned in this report. There seems to be no way to allow a child to have a personal email address and be sure it is free from spam unless all email from unknown addresses is banned.

As the owner of an educational website who likes to inform children that their work has been published, this means that my messages are often categorised as spam. To be tarred with this brush is even more depressing.

Helen Whitehead's blog of e-learning, digital literacy, online writing, and digital creativity.

Which methods and techniques using new technologies are of real use?

Writing in the digital age is so much more than delivering information, or traditional stories and poems electronically. Digital forms of literature can include text, hyperlinks, multi-linear plots, superlinear narrative, graphics, interactivity, animation... and so much more.
