E|E Student Voices

Education|Evolving launched the Student Voices On Video project in April 2007 to document unconventional schooling and learning and to expand the way in which we communicate about the radical changes appearing in K-12 education. We hope you are learning more about unconventional learning, and its impact on public education, while you explore our videos and larger site.

We consider our video presentations to be a work in progress and welcome your feedback as we continue to improve what and how we are communicating. Please take a moment to fill out the following short survey to help us improve this video portion of our site, and make it more useful and relevant to you.

Who are you? We’d like to get an idea of who is watching our videos.
