"As part of Lecturer Jal Mehta’s course, Schooling and Society, students blogged about educational issues and policies on a web page entitled “The Future(s) of Education.” This class assignment allowed the students—future leaders in education—to offer their thoughts on the policy world as events unfolded throughout the year.
Mehta required the eight students in the course to contribute to the blog, he says, to provide an opportunity for them to express their views outside of the classroom and engage in a larger debate, to put thoughts on paper for others to read, and to inform policymakers. “I’ve blogged before and it can be empowering and liberating, either from just reading or participating,” he says."
