Michael Brewster, a fellow high school journalism teacher from Las Vegas, sent me this link to a story one of his former students wrote for the Las Vegas Review Journal about high schoolers blogging. She asks the burning question “So, why would anyone want to put something so personal on the Internet for everyone, even strangers, to read?”
Several students, such as Durango High School sophomores Daniel Castrillo and Jennifer Nadler, keep journals so their friends can know about things going on in their lives. Las Vegas High School senior Kristin Miller works along those same lines. Miller says she uses her journal for venting and “so my friends don’t always have to ask me `What’s up?’ “
It’s fun to see your kids’ names in print…
