Jason's Argonauts

I want to call attention to what I think is some truly amazing work being done by a fellow teacher. Jason Tutterrow is also a teacher consultant having attending the last two summer institutes. Jason and his band of eight rabble rousers have been involved in a six week elective course as part of the Miller High School summer school program.

Jason has taken his kids on a journey into the digital world through interactive blogging. If you want to know what's on these students' minds, take a hard look at their work.

The AMAZING thing is the proficiency and prolific nature of the posts. There are 372 posts divided among 9 participants. That is an amazing average of over 12 posts per day. But, even more amazing is how each student comments to almost all of each others posts. I have read a few of the posts/comments and they are definitely reading and viewing the contents of all of the posts.

Like I said, if you want to know what's on these kids' minds, it's all there in black, white, and living color. Take a look.
