Supercool School

Honestly, the name 'Supercool School' rings all the wrong bells for me (symbolizing trendy, immature, fly-by-night, etc., rather than educational, stable and mature) but I still feel I ought to pass along the information as I got it. Bjoern Lasse Herrmann writes, by email, "Supercool School allows individuals and organizations to build their next generation online school. Think Ning meets Webex for learning. The aim is to do for education what blogging has done for publishing - democratize and decentralize it! The backend allows users to create, customize and administer their school and the front end lets users create profiles, browse through classes, create class requests and participate in live online classrooms." There's also a blog with a lot more information. Various Authors, Website, November 24, 2009. [Link] [Tags: , , , , ] [Previous][Next]

Hey Stephen, thanks for posting this :) We choose the name to be as inclusive as possible and to have a name that will get us an emotional response from people (most either love it or hate it and we like it that way). Think Monster for Professional Recruiting (didn't seem obvious or professional at the time either did it ;)).

Besides that I would like to invite everyone to join us at http://educators.supercoolschool.com and participate in the open classes on the platform.

Thanks, Steli Efti
