Exemplary weblog project award
Peter Ford points us to an exemplary weblog project award. He complements Julie Lindsay and the Grade 8 students at the International School Dhaka who won the Environmental Awareness section of the International Schools’ Cyberfair. I had just recently met Julie on the NECC discussion board and had already written this to her:
Congratulations to Julie & her students!
I just finished browsing the weblog site and I am impressed with the thoroughness of the project, how well layed out the project is, and how much work the students put into it. You should be so proud! I learned a lot about Bangladesh. It’s an awesome and informative site. Thanks for sharing!
Your portfolio site is terrific, too! Keep up the great work!
When I found out that she was working with Peter, I really got excited. I wrote this to Julie:
It’s exciting to hear you are working with Peter Ford. He is the best! I loved what he did with his students. He has the right philosophy about weblogs and centers everything around the writing and the students. I wish we had someone like Peter here in the states but if we do, I am unaware of it.
Julie is going to NECC and will be presenting in the Global Gallery. Be sure to check out the Digital Portfolio Weblog, as well. It’s top notch. As Peter says, Why not leave them a congratulatory comment? I think that’s a great idea! Hop over to the weblog right now! Then follow that up by joining in on the NECC Blackboard Online Forum . Create an account, find the Distance Learning Forum, click on the Discussion Board and the DL Cyber Cafe will lead you to the weblog discussion. You need to sharing some of the good things you are doing.

Thanks Anne for your kind words. It amazes me how some people just ‘get’ the concept of weblogs and then go for it in the classroom with great results. You are an example of that and Julie is as well. Good to be on the same team with you guys
