Hillary Meeler featured in Education World!
My heart warms every time I read about J.H. House and the good work that is being done there. Education World in ”Writing with Weblogs’ features Hillary Meeler of BlogWrite. It spotlights the good work that Hillary and the students are doing with blogging. Just listen to her words in the opening paragraph:
Hillary describes the weekly sessions with her fifth-graders and explains the selection process, the learning connections they are making and her observations on the blogging experience. We all know how hard it is to get other teachers involved in the many
benefits of blogging so if I were asked what I was most grateful for in 2005 as pertains to blogging, Hillary Meeler would be top on my list.
She is continuing the blogging experience at J.H. House and getting many voices heard, as the article most aptly states here:
The blogging experience has convinced Meeler that even elementary level students can participate successfully in blogging. She believes that every student has a voice that can be heard through the instant publication of a post, and that everyone can learn something from the different voices of children.
and spotlight some of the good things going on in technology with our Georgia students. Two of Hillary’s bloggers will be joining us at the event. I just know some legislators will see first hand the value of blogging that night. I can’t wait!
