Clay Burell is a man that makes things happen.
And what he makes happen is amazing.
In just 2 more days Students 2.0 edublog will be launched.
Adults and teachers talk about education and students, but rarely invite students into these discussions. Fortunately, this blog plans to change that by offering an authentic student voice upon education. This is not a gimmick, there’s no puppet master: we’re intent upon confronting the issues of modern education, never backing down from a challenge. Students 2.0 is challenge for leaders and teachers alike: are you willing to listen to students?
The Students 2.0 blog is produced by an international team of student bloggers. Key members include:
* Anthony Chivetta, 17, Missouri, USA
* Arthus Erea, 14, Vermont, USA
* Dillon Decicio, 17, Washington, USA
* Kevin Walter, 17, Illinois, USA
* Lindsea Kemp-Wilbur, 16, Hawaii, USA
* Nicole Kim, 17, Korea
* Sean Law, 16, Scotland
* Stacy Zheng, 17, New York, USA
I’m looking forward to reading what these students have to say.
I have no doubt that they will somehow influence the path that I take with my students.
Thanks for your support! It certainly is getting exciting… The community has mobilized to give us a lot of help. It’s been amazing so far!
Thanks,
Arthus (I’m one of the student bloggers)

Wow, I think I want that description carved on my tombstone when I return to Nature. (I guess you need to change the verb tense then, though.) That really is how I would like to be remembered. Thank you for noticing
But really, we make things happen together, don’t we? Like our own little wiki?
See you in the Students 2oh comment section, I hope, before or after my own comments!
Hey thanks Chrissy for the heads-up on this one. I have added them to my twitter network.
Hey Chrissy, just watched your Sounding Board reflection on the Flat Classroom Ning. It was really moving what you said about your students seeing the work of older students and being inspired by it. Sorta like a real multiage classroom.
Hi Chrissy-
Thanks so much for skyping with my class the other day. I enjoyed talking with you and the kids were “wowed!” My favorite part was sharing our uniforms. I would love to continue the collaboration between our classes in the future and also try to network with you for other global classrooms interested in learning from each other.
Take care,
Will Piper
