I'm so glad to read about the students' experiences so far, I've been wondering how it's going for them. It's such a new avenue of "classroom" exploration so these periodic assessments to get perspective are important.
Something I think is important -and was mentioned here - is that you, me, we, all of us DO have a say in how steemit and other digital platforms progress. Proceeding with intention to create a paradigm that embodies our values is essential. We are spearheading a revolution here and have everything to do with just how it comes to life!
I commend @kenfinkel and all of these students for their courage in undertaking this project!
