NYU professor Jay Rosen wanted to create a platform for professional journalists to collaborate with "the people formerly known as the audience." Here's a story about that collaborative platform: AssignmentZero: By the People Formerly Known as the Audience. It occurred to me that similar professional-amateur collaborations might become part of K-12 curricula as well.

Hmmm.this is my first time to add a comment to anyone on this site, but I am intrigued by the idea of this type of collaboration - I am a university educator myself and using this in a k-12 type setting could be very powerful...
Academic professionals in various education-related disciplines ("experts") might connect and maintain connections with educators in k-12 classrooms ("audience") in ways useful to both. Last-century academic praxis is becoming obsolete given new Web-based communications.
