Hi All,
Andrew asked me to tell you how we're using his blog in his old hometown of Freehold, NJ. As a school librarian who is also teaching a computer class, I thought Andrew's travels would make a great geography/technology project. So - my 7th graders are following his route on their individual state maps as well as outlining it on a large wall map that hangs in the computer lab. In addition, they are learning to use Excel by entering his miles and mphs on a spreadsheet. At the end of his journey, they will graph these statistics. An added bonus for our students has been the opportunity to experience some great writing!! We look forward to his safe arrival in NJ and hopefully a visit to our class!! Thanks, Andrew for giving so many "lessons" to all who read your blog. C.G.
