Amazing Post

Check out this link: http://youngwritersproject.org/node/24553 and listen to (and read) what a Vermont high school student created barely two hours after President Obama's inauguration speech. "Speech plus Usagi" in the podcasts section.

This is a remarkable use of technology but also shows remarkable insight and critical thinking. Imagine if we equipped all our schools with decent recording devices. (Imagine, too, if our schools had planned to have their students watch this bit of history instead of taking mid-terms. -- gg

Hey Geoff -

Thanks for the link to this great post! She wrote a great analytical essay, but her podcast is so much more powerful. New media is amazing. I'd hate to be an old school English teacher right now...

Cheers!

John
