We talk about the digital divide making internet use in education difficult. Fair enough, but I've always believed that where there is a will there is a way. At Musselburgh I worked with one internet computer for months, and then one projector was added on. It never moved beyond that technically but I borrowed, begged, stole and applied for grants to get things improved. Our department now has an individual teacher laptop, a classroom computer, a projector in every room and some interactive whiteboards.
We are relatively privileged compared to the homeless who blog. They have a passion and they do everything they can to write and be heard. Now, what's stopping you?
Update: edu.blogs.com is now the top Google result for 'homeless blogging'. Why?
