Patton Kids Are Awesome!

Well, you probably knew that already. But YA author Sarah Albee thinks so, too! Albee chatted via Skype with Mr. Kelley's creative writing classes on May 7 and then gave the class a big shoutout on her own blog later in the day! She was impressed with the students depth and appreciation for the writing process as well as their ability to effectively use the technology which involved Skype, iPads, Twitter and a discussion tool called Today's Meet. In her words, "Well, these kids were awesome" and "I told them I felt like I was talking writing with college kids." You can also check out student insights from the discussion by following the class on Twitter @8grwriters.
