Until now, the blogosphere – at least that part devoted to issues of education and technology – has been the domain of adults. We have held conversations, mostly valuable, about the shift from teaching to learning, how today’s learners are different, the need for them to make connections in their learning (with each other and the information), and the role of technology in that process.
But one thing has been missing from those conversations – the voice of young learners. Until now!
My friend from Seoul, Clay Burell, brings word this morning of a global collective of young edubloggers who will soon launch Students 2.0, conversations about learning from the youth perspective. This is exciting.
Check out this original, student-produced video, and keep watching the Students 2.0 badge at the top right. It all takes flight in a few days.

I hope you will all drop by when they launch, say hi, and start to include and engage them in quality conversations. I just have a feeling you’ll be impressed.
