David Donaldson, a first-year English teacher at MATHS who wrote an excellent op-ed for The Sun last November and a guest post for InsideEd a few months ago, is working to incorporate more technology into his classroom as part of a graduate course at Hopkins. He also wants to get his students more engaged in local issues. And so he's starting a project in three of his ninth-grade classes where 55 students are reading InsideEd and commenting on posts that are relevant to them. Before comments are submitted, there is a peer editing process and Donaldson gives his approval. You'll notice the students have submitted several comments today under the Columbine anniversary entry about teens' widespread access to guns. I'm delighted to have them as part of our ongoing conversations here and hope they will inspire more student participation on this blog.
