My name is Dana and I am from Eaton, situated on the coast of Western Australia, around 7km from Bunbury and 150km from Perth. I am one of the winners of Heywire for 2011and co-developer of this blog, URS.
We feel that blogging and social networking is not accepted by teachers in Australia because it is not understood. Blogging has the potential to unite and we feel as though blogging would work as an educational tool to help those isolated students in regional/rural Australia connect and share thier stories.
Going through high school, our French class only had four students. We didn't have a fantastic teacher and at times we wondered if other students were going through the same circumstances. If this type of forum was available, we would of had the oppertunity to ask other students how they were coping, post up our work to see if what we were writing was correct, share useful websites and find out about what life is like in other parts of Australia.
