I love that the students’ work is making it into the news, but what I love even more is their comments on Mr. R’s post about the article: [...] [...] The International Teen Life project we’ve been working on for the last few months has recently gotten a little press.

I had no idea that a small little blogging unit like this could expand and become an international project that's in the news. I guess we really are making an impact on people. I think it's great that people are taking notice about the things we're doing, because it only makes this whole technology idea stronger. No matter where we are in the world (and half-way at that), we can still make an entire project that actually means something. I can't say I've done something like this before, and I'm really excited as to how it'll turn out. Wow, this thing is bigger than I thought.

I mean, this is just an unsophisticated group project that sort of connects other people from around the world. All I can say is, amazing..

The only difference, which is pretty large, is the fact that we’re working with students around the globe that we’ve never met. I’ve never done anything like this before and I think that it’s great how we get to learn about lifestyles and interact with people in different places.

People seem really impressed about what we are doing. Now that I realize people are actually reading what we are writing I will defiantly put more thought into what I post. This backs up what Mr. Fisher said "It's about getting a kid's voice out there and giving them an audience."

At first i thought it would be some small project that no one really knew about but now there is an entire article. Fantastic. Mitch Wow I did not realize how big this project was getting.

I'm curious to know more about the what specifically you are learning from each other. From your posts I sense the excitement but would like to hear more about your experiences with Teen Life. What are the similarities and differences in your concerns? I'm becoming an "audience member" and I plan to keep up with your progress.

The Teen Life Project is such a great experience, and to add to this great exxperience, we are being encouraged by the media for the work we are doing! People will start taking our example and start interacting with other countries. Education itself has taken a giant leap, and we are a part of the transition because of the project we have started to do. I would like to say how proud I am to be part of this project, and this method we have started to use -- how to communicate with different perspectives relating to the same purpose. Sai.

This is SO COOL. I hope many teachers all around the world would see this article so that they would encourage their students to start blogging/wikiing, etc. and they can start communicating with other schools in other countries. That will be really great. It is not THAT hard, I mean we live in 21st century. -,,- Technology is one way to communicate most effectively now. haha. -SARAH :) Omg. This is SO COOL.
