Making Education Social
A recent article titled U.S. students behind in math, science, analysis says written by Sally Holland, hit home for us and further illustrates the need for our global educational products. At 9thPeriod.com we recognize the sheer opportunity provided to us as a global education network and we strive to provide products that not only connect students within the U.S. at various middle schools, high schools, and colleges but also around the world. We currently have students from around the world in six different countries that are sharing resources to further their education and make them ultimately better learners. 9thPeriod.com allows students from around the world to share resources such as education documents, videos, and other learning materials in a collaborative environment.
