Celebrating Blogs!

To start the meeting, we briefly discussed the use of Blogs as a means for communication with others about what we do. Two articles, one from eSchool News discusses how blogging may be a means to help teens with their writing. The second was from Tom Parillo who sent an article on technology writing and teens to the English team. Both articles suggested that teens write often, but don't see their texting as writing. However, teens that were blogging were found to actually improve their writing because of the processes involved in formulating their thoughts. If you would like copies they're available in the reading office.
