No problem...I'm happy to. I've been thinking of picking a gedwriting post to feature each week on the podcast...ideally give some extra exposure/motivation.
I had them listen to the podcast and they are really excited. I told them to upload all their school projects to Steemit. You will see some stories and even science posts. They are really trying very hard. Some are in fact excellent writers! I am so proud of them!!!😀
That's awesome! I've been really impressed so far. I wanted to make sure they were front and center in the show this last weekend...they deserve it. It would have been sweet to have been a part of such a project back when I was in school.
I'm a huge fan of science posts myself. Outside my recent zoo pictures series, most of my posts have been science, technology and/or artificial intelligence related for a while. But I'll still try to keep my personal bias down, Lol.
It takes motivation, but they are busy gaining selfconfidence. Luckily they have me as a teacher and I am extremely open minded! Now they get to learn about crypto currency as well...a lot of flies with one swat!😂
Oh I can definitely understand the confidence side of things too. Prior to starting here I hadn't written a thing for at least 10 years prior, preferring talking and 'conversational learning.' It takes a little extra work when writing since you don't have the constant (non-verbal) feedback or the chance to ask 'did that make sense?' It all comes with time though. I don't claim to be an expert, but there's no denying my skill have increased since starting. At some point soon I plan to delve back into short stories and fiction again.
If helpful I did a non-technical explanation of crypto and blockchain some months back in this post. I was rather proud of this one as a good intro for the layperson. Even though some of the American specific analogies (like the dollar) may need tweaking.
I hope they don't mind my periodic 'constructive criticisms.' It's the sort of things I would have love to of been told early on here. Lol
It is after all a learning experience. I complain enough about their grammar, paragraph usage and spelling in class, so some constructive criticism is good!
Hehe, I didn't pay much attention to that when I was their age either. It's great to see the effort they're putting in and excited to see them progress!
Thank You! :)
Thank you for supporting them! Some are doing so well!!
