Mid-Winter Follow-Up - High School Students blog (verb)
The Blurb
This is the link to the blog that a group of high school kids are doing. It is very well written and interesting to read. They give their perspective in the form of a short post as well as a short podcast interviewing each other on the current event at hand. This is well worth the read/listen. Consider what your kids could do in their own classroom given this type of time and freedom to experiment.
PS - Notice how they do not use their real names or identifying comments in any fashion. Very safe. Great idea. Another way you can make up student names is to use an anagram generator. Students type in their names (full name gives more options), and the site generates a list of possible pseudonyms. Very cool (and funny).
