Smells like Teen Inspiration

We’re not the only teens out there trying to make something out of themselves on the web. These are a few I have encountered lately.

SeniorQuoter- A bunch of teens from Haverford High School got together and are learning programming from scratch to create there own application. Now that is what I call dedication and it sounds like such an awesome project too! From there site:

SeniorQuoter is an installable web app in PHP which helps high school yearbooks collect quotes from seniors to be put in the school’s yearbook.

If anyone remembers their Senior year, gathering quotes is always a senseless but fun thing to do and this will probably help the process along for many yearbooks throughout the nation once it’s completed.

ThePlaz- The mastermind behind SeniorQuoter is apparently nicknamed ThePlaz and has a really nice website-turned-wiki. It is a cornucopia of information that he and anyone else is able to write into. It is an awesome idea because he can store countless amounts of documents, school-related or otherwise, and is just plain useful since you can add and delete information to it anytime. Props to you!

Newly Ancient- One of the first “edubloggers” I have found, has a phenomenal blog that discusses various things he just notices in his life. Although it might appear plain on the surface, the owner is only 14 years-old and a pretty advanced web developer and writer. He is currently participating in the Students 2.0 movement and is a part of the starting team of writers.

Tyler Menezes- Anther 14 year-old blogger and a pretty advanced web developer. A quick Google search (not being a stalker) of his name reveals various sites in which he all owns and his web design work looks pretty good. He must have started learning programming at a young age and I find it phenomenal that he is able to keep up with all that work in between school. Bravo!

CSS Text Wrapper- This website was not made by a teen but is an innovative idea nonetheless. It’s one of those ideas that make me ask myself “Why didn’t I think of that?” It is made by Nate Weiner, the owner of IdeaShower, and works pretty adaptively to any website. It can actually help your business website or you could just have fun with it.

 Hope you give them all a view! Bloggers linking bloggers is what web 2.0 is all about.
