“Students on Student Technology” at XplanaZine: Live from high school
April 7th, 2006 by Karine Joly
If you really want to know what’s going on in high school in terms of technology or maybe show your stakeholders what they can expect from prospective students, you should definitely check out “Students on Student Technology,” a series at XplanaZine by Katrina Rinaldi, a graduating high school senior.
As noted by XplanaZine’s editor in the first column posted on March 16: “in this new series, Students on Student Tech, Katrina Rinaldi tackles the technology students use both in school and out in the wild. This is a weekly series that will, hopefully, provide honest insight into how and why technology matters to kids between the ages of 15-22. [...] She will write about subjects ranging from MySpace to classroom clickers and tell us why she and her cohorts like and don’t like specific technologies.)”
In her witty style, Katrina provides us with first-hand insights on how the so-called Net Generation uses technology such as the blogging platform Xanga, instant messaging and even cable TV with this piece about mtvU .
Something worth reading in higher ed admission offices…
