Fredericksburg has some incredible examples of student blogs. Mary, who has served as a page for the Virginia House of Delegates, blogged about her experiences for her classmates. “It was really neat to see their ideas coming from Fredericksburg, because I would be down there (in Richmond, VA) and it was like I was in my own world, but they were right there with me through the internet and it is such an instant access, rather than we were sixty miles away from each other.”
Emily’s blog is about her senior project, creating a cookbook with recipes from internationally known “peacemakers.” She says, “My favorie thing about the blog is when you type in my name to Google, the first thing that pops up is the title of my senior exhibit, ‘Ingredients for Peace.’ And so rather than some humiliating MySpace or FaceBook pictures, rather than that popping up, people are able to get to know me through my writing and my ideas and my experience.”
