Student Bloggers: Great Examples

Want to see some great examples of student blogging? Visit the Possibilities Abound blog by Lani for her 3/6 post: There's something happening here!

Not only are there great examples of high school students blogging about their learning in pre-calculus class (great reflective posts), but there's a mini-story in the post about a 5th grader elsewhere posting a comment and the subsequent connection between the high school students and their new friend, Eddie. Very inspiring!

And in many of the posts (please follow the links -- there are many great gems to uncover), the students write about how much their teacher's use of an interactive white board has changed their class and how they are now using the white board as well as the teacher.

A tip of the hat to Jim Gates' TipLine blog and Anne Davis' EduBlog Insights for pointing me to Lani's post. Jim's post actually references Lani's post via Anne's Tell the Stories post.

And that's why it's call The Web. BTW, you'll see Jim's and Anne's posts in my Shared items listed to the right. Lots of other goodies there that I haven't blogged about -- yet...

Hi Bill, are you aware of any centralized location of student leaders blogging about their experiences of being involved on campus?

Thanks. Till then, Tom

Tom,

I'm not sure this is what you were looking for, but a quick search in Technorati (campus, leadership, student, bloggers) found this post:

Thanks Bill, not quite it, but I'll keep looking.
