New curriculum "to include blogging lessons"

Recommendations for a big overhaul of the primary curriculum have leaked out early.
Sir Jim Rose's report is due to be published next month but some newspapers say they have seen his recommendations already.
According to the Guardian, the Rose report will recommend that children are taught about using blogging, podcasts, Wikipedia and Twitter as sources of information and forms of communication. They must gain "fluency" in handwriting and keyboard skills, and learn how to use a spellchecker alongside how to spell.
The Guardian also says the government-funded Rose report recommends a less prescriptive curriculum so that for example schools would be able to choose the historical periods they taught, and no longer have to teach pupils about the Victorians and the World War Two.
Children should also leave primary school with enough of an overview of history to place the events they have studied in a timeframe and understand some of the links between them.
