My favorite thing about blogging is that I get to meet other people around the world (like you guys)…and it is interesting how you can communicate with other people… for instance… our class is doing a project with kids in grade 8 from Virginia, Kuala Lumpur, and Colombia. We get to see how other teens like us grow up…it is very interesting.

Does blogging help you learn more writing and language?

 Blogging has helped me learn more writing…but not so much of language. It helped me learn more writing by me reading other peoples blogs. I’ve never actually learned more words… actually I’ve learner the word Blogician. 

What is the worst problem you have in blogging?

My worst problem about blogging is probably Spam… it is a bunch of comments that get sent to me and it is very disturbing. A long time ago people in my class where getting about 400 a day… I was only getting about 10 a day… but I never checked my comments in a while so I had over 150. (I forget exactly how much though)  

Our class and 3 other classes, (a class from Verginia, a class from Columbia, and a class for Kuala Lumpur) are doing a project thingy, there are some videos that everyone can check out on all of our teachers blogs, (http://mr-fisher.edublogs.org/, http://mrhide7.blogspot.com/, http://itc.blogs.com/minds/, and http://englisheight.edublogs.org/ I think they are on there anyways)

I have some Questiona i have to answer… The question is What are the challenges of working internationaly?

I think the challenges of working internationaly are, that you have to get to know them, which in some cases can be pretty hard if they are from different countries that speak a different language as you, or that has been growing up in a different place, take here (Snow Lake) for example, the kids in Columbia might have never seen snow, so they will be asking alot of questions, or we dont live on the ocean like they do, so we might be asking them a bunch of questions.

 The other question is, What are the advantages of working in a collaborative international group?

I think the advantages of working in a collaborate international group, is that we can see how other teens are living around the world, or what their community is like, you can also get to know people from different countries around the world.

I am doing a project on advancements in technology and global warming, with my 2 buddy’s Mike, and Darren and also a guy from Kuala Lumpur, his name is Joo Kenq.

I would like to do a pod cast on these things (advancements in technology and global warming).

Hello, my name is Dustin, I live in Manitoba, Canada, in a little town called Snow Lake, and it is In the middle of nowhere. It is really cold here right now (-25C), the coldest it’s ever been is about -45C, the hottest it’s ever been is about +35C. I really don’t think I have a life because all I do is sit on my computer and play an online game called World of Warcraft, (I do have friends thoughJ). I have a snowmobile too; it is an Arctic Cat, Sabercat 700 efi (electric fuel injection) lx. In the school I go to there is about 170 kids, in the town there is about 800 people. My teachers name is Mr. Fisher, he is a great teacher, (he is a computer geek thoughJ, except that’s a good thing because everything we do is on computers!). I have a few concerns, I think that there is too much driving, polluting, and throwing stuff away, and I think that we should stop it, because supposably there is going to be an ice age in 50 years and after watching the Inconvenient Truth I sort of believe it.

My character is a troll, hunter, and he is only level 15 right now. I also have a orc, rogue and he is onnly level 10. You can get up to level 60 right now but on January 16th when the expantion comes out you will be able to get to level 70.

Well thats all i got to say, cya later

But i am going to go now, so cya later people!

I was reading the project red news… and I thought it is a good thing to do to help the people in Africa. If you bye a red product from a certain site such as gaps site, and apple (ipod nano), or Motorola, some of the money will by sent to Aids in Africa to buy and distribute anti-retroviral medicine to all of the people suffering in Africa. Here are some links to some sites about them. ipod, Converse shows, watch, GAP shirts, american express card, and a motorola cell phone
