Look at all the progress we've made:( Y...1965, huh? Look at all the progress we've made:( You know, researching, writing, and publishing and publicizing a student cookbook back then was difficult. There wasn't much experience in doing that kind of thing as a class project to draw on, kids wrote in long hand (those clunky #2 pencils on that rough, wide lined BOE paper), an aging Rexograph reproducing maching or Xeroxing if you had the bucks, and typed letters sent out by snail mail bearing postage stamps in hopes of getting the attention of people about what the kids did. Nowadays, with search engines, word processors, Web 2.0 publishing resources, digital recorders and cameras to capture the voice and finished products of family chefs, etc. etc. it can all be so easy, effective, inspiring, informative, and RELEVANT for students. Instead, articles like this turn up like artifacts from some advanced alien civilization and amaze us that such things can be done in TYPICAL CLASSROOMS... Progress in Education???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
