Educators and Students: You’ve got something valuable to say. Share it with the world, by being an Envision guest blogger. Submit your written or video blog, and you will automatically be entered to win a $25 Amazon.com gift card (students) or $25 in classroom supplies (educators).
Educators can share tips, insight and inspiration with each other. Students can share their thoughts on the issues most important to young people today – global issues like the environment, equality, and competition for jobs, or practical, everyday issues like interview tips, writing a good college entrance essay or using social media.
Of course both groups have much they can learn from each other. Teachers: team with your students and submit a blog on behalf of your entire class!
