Hi, Everyone!

Now that you’ve spent some time exploring www.studentsspeakout.org, www.at15.org and www.citizing.org we’d like to know what you think. There are no right answers!

(1)   Which of these three Web sites did you like the best? Why?

(2)   Were there any particular features on the sites that you especially liked or disliked?

(3)   Assume that CitiZing.org would have a project specifically geared toward students and that StudentsSpeakOut.org was an active site. Would you join either of these sites and participate frequently? Why or why not?

We encourage you to think individually, but feel free to use each others' responses to build on your own ideas.

    This activity has wrapped up. Unfortunately, no further comments are possible.

    1. Best Buy- the website drew my attention and I think they had good ideas.

    2. The trails and Parks website didn't do much for me. I thnk it is because I am not a person that enjoys nature that much.

    3. I would join it but I don't think I would be active because there might not be projects that interest me

      I like both but here's things that could help both.

      1. Best Buy @ 15- Fun to look at but it's a little too much going on. Since it's so fun, when it came time to read I didn't really want to.

      2. SSO- The site is ok. It was too much or too little but a common mistake is having too much text, it made me want to just find the thing that I was looking for.

      Overall they are both great sites. 

      (3). Yes I would join and I would participate frequently if it was ike an online debate or questions were constantly getting asked and answered. Like multiple question and answers sessions.

        I liked the Best Buy @ 15 because it was fun to look at and really easy to navigate. It also had things that I was interested in.

         

        I especially liked that the discussions were in categories. It made it easier to find what I was looking for. However, I thought that some of the discussions had no purpose.

        I would not join because I feel that the websites had some boring topics that I'm not too interested in.

          1) I liked the at15 site the best because it attracted me into the site and it was easy to explore. It also seemed easy to post and find conversations that were interesting to you.

          2) I liked that members were able to start their own forums on (I think) each site.

          3) I would be interested in joing either of these sites to spark conversations with other active teens. It would be interesting to learn what others were thinking about the needs of our society, and I think its VERY important for teenagers to have an output for these thoughts. I also think it would be important to keep adult activity on the site to empower younger people to take action.

            I liked the citizing website the best because you can write what is on your mind and see who is doing the same project as you. I would join the sites because then it would be cool to be in a project that it is all students and not just adults.

             

              Hi!

              (1)  I liked the Best Buy website the best because it gave information about important issues that are affecting everyone, like the 'texting-and-driving' epidemic.

              (2) I liked how the Students Speak Out website allowed a lot of people to discuss their opinions about nationwide problems.  Seeing other people's opinions on surveys on the Best Buy website was eye-opening as well.

              (3) I would definitely participate in a project that specifically focused on student's needs.  The majority of problems discussed today are problems that involve the majority of the population (which is, of course, necessary to maintaining a happy society).  I think, however, that student's needs should be addressed more often.

              Hope to meet some other students in this program soon!
