Am posting a link to your blog on our teachers' site.... I have an idea... I run a nonprofit in Vermont that is dedicated to building a generation of better writers. We use digital technology in engaging the students, mentors and other tricks to help them get better and we publish their work where ever and whenever we can — newspapers, on radio, online and on stage. We also work with schools and teachers trying to hoist them up to the 21st century. I would love to find a school in Australia that might be interested in doing a joint writing project with students up here. What I was thinking of doing is finding a school there and a school here and creating a site for the students to share writing, ideas and information. Interested? If so, drop me an email…. ggevalt(at)youngwritersproject.org Our other sites: http://ywpvt.net and http://ywpblog.ywpvt.net Graham,

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 07:54:43 +0000 http://gwegner.edublogs.org/whos-graham/#comment-14082 G'day Graham, I was on the Edublogger birthday post and saw your comment, so thought I would visit your blog to tell you about a student blogging challenge that will be starting in March 2009. Students may use either a class blog or their own individual blog. There will be activities each week and they will be posted on my class blog http://wyatt67.edublogs.org If any teachers or students are interested in registering, please do so here http://wyatt67.edublogs.org/2009/01/18/a-new-year-means-a-new-challenge/ A similar challenge was held last year and nearly 500 students from nine different countries of the world took part. These students are still blogging and running a collaborative blog at http://studentfriends.edublogs.org G’day Graham,

Who knows - maybe it could lead to opportunities that I have previously believed were beyond my reach.
