=What I hope to do with Web 2.0=

I work with a group of students as an academic mentor of sorts. The more they can work together, //the better they do in their classes//. We meet together 4x week, and we use several of the class periods to work in small groups for extra help: answering each other's questions about math, explaining a confusing principle in physics, discussing options for a social studies project, etc. We need more time to do this! If the kids could work together more regularly, their grades would go up. **But there's just not enough time in the day.**

I'm interested in creating a virtual space where they can do this.

I'd also like to create a space for on-line journaling so that they can check in with me every other day to give me updates on their work and so I can get them messages and feedback from their teachers. Ideally, they would be able to access this site via SMS since, for many of them, it's easier to pull out their cell phones than it is to get to a computer.
