Marshall Roch and myself are both listserv members and are frequent posters to this list. It is our privilege to give back to those teachers who have taught us so much over the years. While we are only in 9th grade, many educators have touched our lives, and we strongly believe in giving back to the education community at large. Below is our press release announcing our launch. Thanks so much, Evan Russo Out2Teach.com Headmaster 9th Grade Student [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 9th Grade Students Launch Out2Teach.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (April 8, 2002) -- Today, Evan Russo and Marshall Roch, both ninth grade students, announced the immediate availability of Out2Teach.com, an online portal for the education community. The site includes an extensive directory of web resources and articles covering various education-related topics, focusing on the integration of technology in education. "We want to give back to our teachers in the way we know best," said Russo, "and that is through the Internet." Out2Teach.com will give educators from all over the world a place to collaborate and develop new and unique ideas. Roch, the "Director of Web Development," has developed the site so that any educator can submit their ideas to the world, whether by a post in the message board, or a full-fledged article. "Every voice is important" says Roch, "and everyone needs to have the opportunity to share their ideas." On the technology integration forefront, Out2Teach.com offers a concise link database where every link has been reviewed and categorized by either Russo or Roch. The links are suitable for use in a classroom setting, as there is information on a vast array of topics. "We are proud to have a rapidly growing database" says Russo, "we currently have over 1500 links, and add more daily." For those teachers and schools with web sites, Out2Teach.com offers a free dynamic content plug-in where anyone can add a 'quote of the day' or 'word of the day' to their site and have it automatically updated daily. Both Russo and Roch firmly believe that not only teachers need a place to collaborate online, but so do students. With that belief, Russo and Roch's company Exclupen.com will continue to produce web sites targeted toward the education community, in their effort to improve technology integration and the preparation of our youth for the hi-tech tomorrow.
