Global audience


I am considering doing some cross-country blogging with another senior class in Denver, Colorado. Check out their blog and see what you think about the way they are using it. Would this be helpful to you? Feel free to post some INTELLIGENT, MATURE comments on their blog posts as well.

How could we use this? What would make this experience useful, engaging, and relevant to you this year?

Howdy from good ole' CO!
I love the way that you guys are taking this idea of cross country blogging. How awesome would it be to meet some future college class mates simply by having the same assignments? I can't wait for this thing to take off! Hopefully we have some of the same material to cross reference this year.
Keep up the great work.

Having a blog like this would be a cool thing only if we are studying the same thing they are. It would not really make sense having an educational blog, but yet not understanding what they are studying. It would be cool to meet people our age online through an educational setting, but would not make sense if we did not know what they were studying

Hello from the center of the West. I think this will be a fun way to meet new people and learn more about different areas of our country. The mixing of our cultures and ideas will be good as we prepare to go out into the world. West meets South.

It sound's as if you have a very interesting class. I am jealous!

Hi I am a student from Colorado. I look forward to learning more about your class and blogging across the country. I hope that we can learn blogging tips and suggestions from each other. This multi-state interaction could be beneficial to both of our classes. You guys can blog on our site if you have any ideas on how we can communicate.

This is really neat that we are going to be able to chat with people from a different part of the country. It will be cool if we do have some of the same assignments, and we can see what other classes are going to be doing. This is going to be very interesting to see what we come up with.

Hola!! I am one of the Colorado students. I think it will be really cool and beneficial to work with students from the other side of the country! I am looking forward to seeing the differences and similarites between our classes. Your class should take a look at our blog and comment with your ideas!

Hey there from Colorado! I think this is a pretty exciting way to get to know some people from cross country and see things from different viewpoints. I don't know if we're all going to be studying the same pieces of literature or not, but it would be interesting to comment on each other's blogs about subjects we are studying and get some outside opinions from each other. Looking forward to it.

Hey there from Colorado! I think this blog thing is a great idea. I don't know if we are going to be studying any of the same literature, but I think it would be cool to post on each other's blogs about things we are studying in class and get some outside opinions and perspectives on it all. Looking forward to it.

Hey fellow seniors.. how excited are you to be graduating in 007. I know in our english class the blog has really been beneficial in some situations. It is going to be really neat to see what our two classes can come up with. I look forward to chatting it up with you!The blog is going to rage. oh yeah are you guys close to Hoover High (the one from Two-A-Days)?

Hi everyone in Alabama! I think that is going to be such a cool experience. I think its always cool to get opinions from people who are outside of our city. Most people don't have friends that are in highschool from other states so it'll be cool to compare what we are doing and how big of a role sports play in school... Maybe there are stereotypes that we can break as well? Because most people that don't go to Colorado think that we ride horses to school...

Hello from Colorado! How you guys doing in Alabama? This should most certainly be a great experience for all of us. Connecting inter-state will open many oppurtunities for learning and communication. I am excited to see how this turns out.

It is always nice to get extra feedback, especially from people that view things slightly differently than us. This could really be a great experience for both of our classes and I think that everyone will benefit. Two brains are always better than one. I guarantee that we are always going to build off of each other and continually improve our blogging experiences.
