To be honest I did not really find the blog to be that helpful towards my final papers. The most useful thing for me was just talking with my group about our experiences. Since I always went to my school with a group we usually discussed our experiences while traveling. To me this was more valuable. I was only in one classroom for most of my time at Butler so talking with others was helpful towards understanding the school better. The blog itself was interesting because reading about others experiences at their schools was fascinating. Hearing their stories and experiences has given me a better perspective of the system in general.
I don't have any sugestions for next year, other than maybe encouraging volunteers to travel in groups so they can discuss their experiences with the other volunteers from their school. Sharing my experiences with the whole group was great, but it was even better to share my experiences with the people who understood the school as well as I did. I found that I got the best feedback and ideas from my group, so thanks guys!
