#2: My Initial Ideas
As I look though what other people have already researched, written, and then published, I feel myself drawn to one topic in particular. Education. I want to be able to help the small schools that can’t afford to get the newest of technology or shape their curriculum around the most modern ways of teaching. I don’t know how I’ll be able to do it, but I want to try and interview people on their opinions about this topic. This is still a rough idea of what I’m thinking of doing. I’m not completely sure of this topic and am scared that I will immerse myself too deeply before realizing this isn’t what I want to do. These are my thoughts on it anyways.

Elsa,
My name is a Nate Archambault. i am an English teacher at Bellows Free Academy in St. Albans. I will be one of your blog readers throughout the course.
Your topic is one of great importance and great relevance. It is one that is near and dear to my heart. I went to school in a small rural elementary school in VT and know the struggles that schools face in this regard. I would be happy to help you shape ideas and make contacts with interviewees.
It was a pleasure to read a bit about you and your ideas!
Hello Nate,
It’s great to know that you are there for resources and help. However, I am thinking of changing topics because I feel I may not be able to go into as much depth as I would like to with that topic. My new topic will be undocumented immigrant workers and I will write more about it in my third blog post.
I appreciate your help and hope you will view my new topic with as much enthusiasm as you did with my old one. I look forward to working with you and receiving your feedback through out this course.
