Students 2.0

For the first time ever in the history of the internet, we have created a global edublog that is administered, designed, edited, and written by students, and only students. In an otherwise teacher-dominated blogging community, we have decided to speak up and let ourselves be heard. Hailing from Hawaii and Washington, from St. Louis and Chicago, from Vermont, New York, Scotland, Korea, and other points on the globe, we have one goal in mind: expressing our opinions and perspectives about education with clarity and confidence. We plan on contributing our unique and insightful perspectives with the objective to better the world of education.

Connected and mentored by English teacher Clay Burell, each student has an equal influence. Clay has given so much of his time to help us through the many unexpected problems that arose. An experienced blogger and thinker, we’ve been able to bounce our ideas off of him, and get unbiased feedback, constantly keeping in mind that his role is not as a supervisor or teacher.

Each of our main contributors will be publishing a post today. One new post will appear every six hours. We’ve worked hard to get where we are, and we want you to see what we’re capable of.

We understand the importance of audience. We understand that you don’t know our world, and many of you are curious. So if there are any topics you want us to address, there’s a comment box waiting for you below this post. We’re listening.
