"Blogs provide... the potential to reinvent how we work with journals in classrooms, challenging teachers and students to think about writing in authentic ways." ~ from "Writing With Web Logs by Glen and Gina Bull"

Today I set up a Blog for each student. I would like to them to debrief our class sessions using this interactive online tool. I will be able to go into their Blog and respond to their thoughts. I am excited experimenting with this emerging communciation tool with my students. As fellow bloggers, we will update our sites frequently and take our writing in a direction that matters to us. I plan to post questions but I will encourage students to explore their own questions about the cundrums surrounding the homeless.

"As bloggers, we're in the middle of, and enjoying, an evolution of communication." ~ Meg Harris, from "What we Are Doing When We Blog"
