CEO Mary McCaffrey Shares Vision of Collaborative and Engaging Learning Using journ(i)e on eSchoolNews TV

CARBONDALE, Ill., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- TH(i)NQ Ed(TM), formerly SchoolCenter, a leading strategic online solutions company in the education market, announced today that Mary McCaffrey, CEO of TH(i)NQ Ed, was interviewed and featured on eSchoolNews TV.

The interview took place recently at the 2010 International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference, where TH(i)NQ Ed announced the launch of journ(i)e, the first student-directed learning environment that uses Web 2.0 tools to cultivate student engagement and put digital natives at the center of their own learning experiences in a safe and secure environment.

"As I looked out into the landscape of what was available for educators and for students, it struck me that we were not providing students with the kinds of tools they use in their everyday life," said McCaffrey, CEO of TH(i)NQ Ed. "We built journ(i)e to be a collaborative workspace environment - a bridge to education where students can connect with their peers and teachers using their basic Web 2.0 capabilities to be active participants in their education - collaborators, publishers and producers of content in their learning process."

journ(i)e engages the net generation by enabling them to connect, contribute and collaborate using Web 2.0 tools in a structured and safe learning network, such as:

-- Workspaces allow for participation in multiple different group
activities and discussions.
-- In-System Messaging enables connected users to communicate using a
private inbox.
-- Wikis allow for collaboration on assignments and research.
-- Assignments are readily available for students easy for teachers to
distribute.
-- Personalization allows students to direct their own collaborative
experience from defining streaming activities to profile customization
with fun and school-appropriate designs.
