Give Every Student a Web Page

Here's the idea: every student gets a web page for their academic career that includes one-click access to all past grades, reports, portfolios, etc. Teachers, counselors, parents, and others (with contolled access) comment on their students' pages, offering advice and college counseling. Kentucky implemented a system like this recently. You can read about it in eSchool News. They characterize it as "Myspace meets Monster," in other words, social networking meets career networking. I like the idea because it could be implemented from the beginning of a student's middle school years, and could serve to focus their understanding of themselves as learners, developing over time, and working towards long-term goals.
