Welcome to the Student Union | Student Union

Hey there,

Welcome to The Student Union folks. This is meant as a general discussion area for a wide variety of topics. Feel free to share what you are working on, in and out of school. This is a great place for us to get to know each other.

Why call this forum The Student Union? In the states the Student Union often a central area / building on campus where students can come together. There might be places to eat, exercise equipment and often a bar. (There was on my campus Smiley ) TheStudent Union was the codename for this project in its early days. We thought we'd preserve that piece of history through this forum and it made sense to be the center point for this site too.

So a little about me. I'm Jeff Sandquist, I work at Microsoft leading the teams that create this place and also 9, 10 , Mix Online and TechNet Edge. Outside of work I gamikng (JeffSand on XBox Live), cars, playing with tech and hanging with my family. Right now I am playing MX Vs. ATV for the 360.

So drop us a line, share with us who you are and let us know what you want to see in Channel 8.

Thanks!
-Jeff

Hi jeff

While C8 is primarily aimed at "all students", will there actually be any content pertaining to Highschool-ers such as myself? Highschool technology is somewhat outdated over here - what's it like in the states? How do people from around the world interact with different schooling?

I'm just interested to see what other highschools are like, and whether anything interesting *ever* happens in Highschool?

AFAIK this place is for all students... It's a place where all can meet!

All students are welcome at Channel 8.

Content will be of a wide range some stuff technical, some for fun, some about life as a student (college focus) and more. We plan to mix it up a lot here. I think high school students will be interested in items here too.
