yeah for good students

After going to an "ed-tech" course this summer I decided to try a blog that would make students write answers to questions that anyone could read.  The idea that the kids would be accountable to their classmates and to anyone else that happened upon the blog appealed to me, for it may make them write more carefully.  After reading the fourth blog entry of the Advanced US History classes, I am very glad that I instituted this policy.  I am impressed with their effort in this project and to their good fortune their grade point averages have been helped tremendously.  Yeah for the kids cooperating in this new adventure, and yeah for the professional development funds that made it possible.
