Al-Yamamh Girls are Blogging

Mrs. Lobat Asadi who teaches English at Al-Yamamah College in Riyadh has sent me a link to her project website that is used as a part of the course she is giving there. I know this practice might be common elsewhere, but I think this is interesting because I've never come across anything like this happening here in Saudi Arabia. Mrs. Asadi also provides links (check out the left sidebar) to blogs by her students. She thinks many people will enjoy reading the thoughts of these young Saudi women, and that "they are much more intelligent than people give them credit for." I agree with her that many people underestimate the capabilities of our women, and I'm glad that blogs are offering opportunities to change the conventional thoughts. # »
