As I was reading "World Without Walls: Learning Well With Others" by Will Richardson I was moved by 11-year old Laura Stockman using her blog page to help with a community service project. I'm not so much surprised by the fact that an 11-year-old would have a blog page, but the creative way in which she was using it for a good cause. My daughters, ages 7 and 11, have their own blog pages which they currently use for linking games, sharing pet photos, and sharing their Voki avatars.
Although I think that it is great that my daughters are learning how to use this technology and they are having fun with chickenmama.com and elizabriggs.com, I can see other ways in which they could use this technology as they grow and become more comfortable with it.
I am inspired to help students discover new ways in which they may use their sites to benefit others. Students today have the technology and they are using it, but as teachers, can't we still teach them ways to use it better? Thanks for raising the bar Laura Stockman!
