1st Annual DownStreet is pleased to be able to present our 1st Annual Best of the School Year Issue. ... Scattered throughout the magazine, as well as in Back Issues, you'll find articles about and works by students from schools in our DownStreet neighborhood of Addison & southern Chittenden counties. As a general interest magazine, DownStreet -- with its 19 sections and 57 sub-sections -- has plenty of topical room for student work. In the past, we've featured student work and school programs in {of course} Learning & Ed., as well as Books & Lit, Arts & Craft {where we began the community's first on-line art gallery for displaying local artists and crafts}, and Music & Sound. With these kind of outlets in mind, then, we put the call out a couple of months back and some of you responded. So, this month, in addition to more student work in these sections, we can also add Computers & Tech to the list of what we hope will continue to be a growing presence of quality student work here in DownStreet. ... We think there's a value to publishing student work, in fact, a number of values, and we hope that when the next school year begins, teachers and students, parents and friends, will continue to submit student work and projects to DownStreet and thereby take advantage of an outlet that would be difficult to match in print. Without the cost of 4-color print reproduction or the limit of set page sizes, DownStreet is able to offer more extensive coverage of students' work than would be practical in print media. Like radio, the internet also allows us to go beyond print or static photo publishing to include sound, as well. {Listen, for example, to the interview with students in Paul Stetson's Applied Architecture class at MAUHS in this month's Learning, or the 'rhymes' -- independent student work -- in this month's Sounds Around.} In the up-coming Volume II of DownStreet, which begins with our September Fall Harvest issue, by which time more of our readers may have up-graded to cable modems or DSL service, we also hope to add more video to our offerings. But unlike radio or television, which, like print, have to contend with limits, the internet doesn't have set programming times and limited air time. We can publish what we have, and you can read it, view it, or listen to it when it suits you. As we said in our call for submissions: We know you work hard. That goes for the teachers and many of the students. So we'd like to celebrate student accomplishment by publishing the best of what comes out -- both during the school year, and at the end with another Best of the School year issue. ... We look forward to your submissions, then, and sincerely hope that you can find the time and the wherewithal to make use of what DownStreet has to offer. ... a novel and exciting outlet for student work The kids deserve some recognition for their hard work. ... And DownStreet is pleased to be able to do what it can to see that they get that recognition.
