Quote of the week:
"Never in 25 years of teaching have I seen a more powerful motivator for writing than blogs. And that's because of the audience. Writing is not just taped to a refrigerator and then put in the recycle bin. It's out there for the world to see. Kids realize other people are reading what they write."
- Mark Ahlness, 3rd grade teacher at Seattle's Arbor Heights Elementary School

Tamara-
How true this statement is. Kids didn't really have the opportunity to publish their writing before blogs. Sure there are school publications and others teachers can submit work to. But blogging allows a much wider audience to see student work. Can blogging inspire a whole generation of students to become better writers?
