GED Newsletter: Writer’s Notebook
GED Writer’s Notebook
The GED Academy has been developing a new forum to practice your writing and connect with other GED students and teachers to develop your writing skills. This week, one of our students found it:
Batuni Writes:
I have recently discovered the Writers Notebook what a wonderful resource. I enjoy writing, and was thrilled to have the opportunity to submit my work for others to review. I look forward to reading any suggestions and comments submitted. What a great learning tool this site has the potential to become.
I have been searching for this type of site endlessly without any luck, and had no idea it was provided with this GED course. It would be great to see this resource actively advertised, perhaps on your home page, or in some other way it would be easily noticed. It would be great to assist other students in discovering the Writers Notebook exists. Perhaps this would inspire more students to participate.
In the quest for greater knowledge, this GED course and the sites provided make learning much easier. I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone behind PassGED.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Batnuni
