Students 2.0

Did you know that there is a blog out there written by students about learning, schooling, teaching, education and much more? It is written because a handful of young people want to give a voice to the future - their own. And yours. But let them introduce themselves:

For decades, students have been stuck in classrooms, behind desks, being told how and what to learn. For a time, when students were expected to become widgets for the vast machine of industry, this model of education was highly effective. However, we have now entered a new age: an age where thinking is more important than knowing, where thoughts out-do the facts. Borders are melting away; project teams collaborate across the globe and intelligence is being continually redefined. The world’s information is at our fingertips and anybody can publish their thoughts for virtually no cost.

This blog is an attempt to give students a voice in where the future of education is headed. But do not let the idea of listening to students turn you away: for everyone here is also a teacher. We are a team from across the globe, and this is our time.

I highly recommend Students 2.0 to anyone who is interested in learning, education and the future - and that should mean you, too.
