The Day After (or The Power of Blogging)
18 11 2008Well folks. Pleasant surprise and big smiles. My student came today (see yesterday’s blog). He read the blog comments, printed them out and stuck them in his backpack last night, and came to school today.
His mom emailed me and said how excited he was while reading the comments and they talked about all the people who really DO like him, rather than focusing on the negative aspects. She said SHE really enjoyed reading the comments too. She said it was the blog that got him to come.
Those who are in my class should have a direct link to my students’ blog from Drew, if you care to read it.
So while this isn’t a funny blog, it is an extremely joyous one. Ah, the power of technology!
Nice Work! So many people talk about how technology makes people feel more isolated, but this is a fantastic idea of how technology can actually bring people together! I think that Web 2.0, by its very definition, brings people together who, perhaps, wouldn’t normally associate with each other.
anonymous, I’m amazed. What a compassionate use of technology. Thank you for sharing.
thanks all – it worked out pretty cool.
