Excellent Edu-Blogging Movie Featuring Hunterdon High
At this years NECC conference Intel presented a movie about blogging in education. It featured Will Richardson and a few of his students at Hunterdon High School in Flemington New Jersey. Hunterdon gives a Manila powered blog (which features a template I designed) to some of its students to help them hone their writing skills. Kids are encourages to write in their blogs, and solicit feedback from their teachers, peers, and volunteer mentors.
I think this short movie could be a great way to evangelize the use of blogs in school settings. In less than 2 minutes this movie describes bloggings benifits far better than I generally can in 1 hour of conversation. I encourage other teachers who have been able to leverage blogs in education to produce their own short films.
