My students were so excited to be part of the Many Voices for Darfur project. They were writing and then blogging and then podcasting and then reading the blog posts of other students and we even attempted a Skype call with the students from The Blurb (didn’t quite work out but excitement generated was worth the attempt)
At last count, I saw more than 450 comments on the Many Voices for Darfur blog. Wow.
One of my students really wanted to make a slideshow about Darfur:

The kids are now talking about ways to raise some money to help the Darfur relief agencies and we are bouncing around some ideas. I love that the writing and blogging is moving into social action.
Peace (in the world),
