After grabbing a Reveille this morning, I noticed the typically annoying insert in this morning's paper. On the front cover, a headline read "Top 10 Online Tools", so that I was enough to peak my interest and I started to thumb through the Red Magazine issued by Target. In there was an interesting Student Site 2.0 article all about the new interactive wave of Web 2.0 materials, the need for online portfolios, how useful blogs and wikis have become to students and much of the like. The article also highlighted 10 useful online tools to make life more efficient, some of the note worthy URLs included Bibme.org (bibliography assistance), Rasterbator (homokassu.org/rasterbater) and google docs and spreadsheets (a way to store files and have remote access to them).
Sadly, most of the small Red magazines were discarded on the ground, unread, but hopefully some students were able to see the growing importance as it was enough for me to personally take note about what others are writing in regards to web 2.0.
I do not have a URL for the story, but I did save the copy of the magazine if anyone wants to take a peak at the story.

Kim--I'd like a copy of this. We need to post some links like this on this blog and on the website. --L
Hi Kim,
I'm actually one of the author's of the "Student 2.0" article. We write regularly at our blog, named HackCollege, regularly about that kind of stuff.
We're glad you liked it.
I still actually haven't seen a copy of it because I'm studying abroad right now.

Nice work, Kelly. Saw one of your podcasts. You have a future with technology, but maybe not with fashion. Where are you a student when you're not studying in Germany?
We are just assimilating European fashion into our own wardrobe.
While not in Germany, I'm a student at LMU in Los Angeles studying film and computer science.
