Dancing Karen– I can’t speak for anyone else, but I find using short phrases (inside jokes) or a memorable line from a song easy to remember; I just add a couple of favorite numbers in as well. This probably isn’t the *best* method, but it’s the one that has worked for me so far! Good luck!

Dear Students 2.0.,
Do you have a format for receiving questions such as...
Have you ever seen this: A student trying to get into his Wiki account the day after opening it and he has already forgotten his password. Then, Monday after a long weekend, he has forgotten it again. Now I keep passwords in sealed envelopes in my desk drawer for when they are forgotten. Any other good ideas to facilitate remembering passwords? (I must admit I have had trouble with this myself – especially on new accounts.)

Oh the places you will go!

Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say about 21c learning and living.

The work of educators in the blogosphere can provide decision makers with great ideas of what education today should look like. But, perhaps it will be the voice of students who make it real for those of us outside of the classroom.

As someone tasked with being the voice of the “public” in public education, I look forward to learning from YOU what students believe education should look like, feel like, live like.

May your voice be heard!

Wow, what a great tool and resource for students. I will be sharing this with all of my students so that they too can read and add to your content. Great job!!!

I second all the above, and hope this site will truly become an instrument for change.

Trying to inspire a group of sixth graders this year into becoming active learners taking charge of the purpose and direction of what we do in the class has made me realize that systemic change needs to happen. I hope the rest of this school year to find creative thoughts and inspiration to share with my students.

Way to go y’all!!

I would like to hear from “special ed” students if you know of any who would like to begin some conversations from their standpoint of the education system and how we can do better by and for them with this Web 2.0 thing.

Wow...what a wonderful day for all of you! Best of luck as you help each other as students and you force educators to push their own learning. I look forward to the conversation!

Great job getting Students 2.0 off to a great start! I have been silently protesting the educational system for many years and I hope to contribute to this great project.

I look forward to the conversations here as well!

Here’s hoping your “student2.0″ concept and your work is copied and molded into other forms so that such experiences can be directly shared by other students needing such a medium.
