Today I received a very nice comment from an ESL teacher who is teaching an online session on creating student published online magazines. I wanted to share it with you....
Each time I visit your weblog, I am more impressed with its high
quality organization, the wonderful immediacy of its content, and the deep involvement of its contributors--you and the student writers.
I think the immediacy of the communication going on is contagious and truly hooks your young writers and shows them the awesome power
writing gives them. Without doubt, they are finding 'writing' a vital experience in their lives. This 'immediacy' is what makes it, in so many ways, more effective than publishing student writing on
conventional web pages.
The tremendous force that drives both you and the students to react
to ideas and issues and to respond in writing to a real online
audience is like a living force. It is alive, and we, the readers,
sense it and are easily swept in.
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful 'online space' (as you call it!) with us.
