These comments are so powerful. As a Technology Integration Specialist I am continually needling and nudging teachers to have their students publish to the world. Here is one that took me up on it: http://authentic-voices.wikispaces.com/
Would love to collaborate!

@BillG You ask a great question.
“Do you have any concerns about placing students on a global stage, putting their unrefined, undeveloped ideas out there vulnerable to criticism?”
One I think I want to flesh out in a future post. I did mess around with answering it in a post last May:

What does it say about the institution of school that the kids don’t care about how they write until they know they’re writing for a blog-sized audience? Could it be that students think that school is not the real world, so they say–maybe rightly–who cares?

Great comments from the kids. It just HAS to be a HUGE difference between writing for you alone and writing for “real.” I’m going to bookmark these comments as ammunition when I get pulled into the argument again. Nice job!

Thanks for sharing your students’ perspectives. I am going to share them with my graduate students to help them paint a picture of the power of writing in a highly social and connected world.

Thanks for posting these comments from students as written. In reading and reflecting on the student’s work I was especially struck by this comment. “It makes me want to write better because I know that people from around the world will see it.” I’m looking forward to seeing the student’s growth this spring. I hope you will continue to share.
