Alternative to Reading Logs

"Web logging or Blogging" exemplifies a new literacy practice that is relatively new to me and the education system in my country. Educators and policy makers have seen the need to equip schools with computers and other new technology in order to meet the growing demands of this digital landscape. However I do not think that much is being done to effectively improve our pedagogical practices with the use of these technologies.

So true Angelina. But I suppose people like you need to initiate these changes. I would support you 100%

I see a couple things that hinder this process. One: Some don't see the real need of such things. Two: It take money to make many of these things happen and money always seems to be short. Three: It takes team work, and few are willing to work for the greater good at a loss to self without any recognition.
This being said, I think we must return to old faithful, "do it yourself" and see who is willing to help. I think true character is missing in most of today's societies. I hope to one day start a class or two on character in a school here in St. Lucia. Put that on your prayer list and I will add you to mine. God bless.

Thanks Nathan and I think you are so right. the resources must be available plus one needs to have the will do undertake such initiatives. I am glad that you would like to some day strat a class on character in one of our st, Lucian schools. Do you currently work in St Luica?
