The Why? of Blogging
![Page 9: Blogging as Digital Portfolios ~ Involving Parents in the Process of Learning 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55b74e2dbb61eb9e358b45a6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Blogging is not about technology . . .
I.. . it’s about relationships and
learning.

If you can crack the problem of engagement – not just “are you paying attention?”, but “are you fascinated by this?” – if you can crack engagement in deep learning then you’ve cracked 21st century schooling. Mike Berrill

This is a great site. thanks for taking our children’s academic growth so seriously. you make a huge difference in their lives. i see it on their faces every day! The ways that my daughter uses technology are ways I never thought were possible. She wants to work at home and I never knew how creative my daughter was until this year. Her blog is amazing. She is now teaching me how to use technology to learn instead us just playing games. You truly bring out the meaning of teaching and teacher! Your work doesn't go unnoticed but it’s always nice to hear it from a parent Thanks Leigh. Keep up the excellent work. Sincerely, Lyndsey Gilchrist
