Georgia Legislative Event

This event provides the opportunity to meet and converse with Georgia lawmakers.  This extravaganza is held every year by Georgia State University during the first week of the state legislative session. It is a time for the University to showcase its many important programs.

Zachary and Jose Juan are two of the J.H. House fifth grade students who were chosen to showcase their blogging skills to let our legislators see how technology is being used effectively in our public schools. Our legislators were impressed!

During the event, I grabbed a few minutes to try out my first podcast. I interviewed Zachary and Jose Juan. I interviewed them about weblogs and what they have been learning.

First, great link between government and education.

Your podcasts give us a valuable impression of what Jose-Juan and Zachary learnt from their weblog. Could you have subtitles available in all future podcasts, so that it can be clear to many people. The middle part of Jose-Juan's interview is much clearer than it was earlier. Are you able to edit out the noise? I'm just up to the bit about where J-J learns English. He gives an insightful answer.

Zach is such a clear and entertaining speaker. You asked him many of the right questions so that we can share in his blogging journey and what he has learnt from it. I can't wait to see his writing about the Legislature! It was also really nice that you got his Mum to speak. So often we think parents are not involved or scared of new technology. Zach's Mum is obviously very open-minded (see Longer Life for her comments) and I'm sure both Zach and Jose-Juan are great blogging ambassadors.

Thanks for allowing me and international bloggers the privilege of listening in.
