Here's what people involved in the eCommEd program have to say: "I am so excited to be teaching this new e-commerce course. The growth of e-commerce and the Internet in this decade is having a dramatic impact on the way we live, learn, play and do business. This course gives students the insight and knowledge they need to compete and prosper in today's workplace. I like the flexibility of the course and of having options. I think this will be welcomed in any classroom! The students also create a unique dynamic to each class and really get a charge out of being treated like workers instead of kids." Janice Lindsay Business Education Teacher Niskayuna High School "From day one our eCommEd class has been a big hit with the students. I have even been approached by students who keep asking if they can be added to the class. How many times does that happen in high schools? My eCommEd students are anxious to do the work and really like the fact that it is "real," as opposed to just another class assignment. The idea of ScoresUp.com is perfect, combining a high school sports information web site with an e-commerce business. It's a great way for students to learn how to operate a business, whether using the on-line or traditional model" Dave Denofio Business Education Teacher Schenectady High School "If done correctly, e-commerce is a practical tool for local businesses to expand their market bases and withstand seasonal sales cycles. eCommEd offers a wonderful opportunity for our youth to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to assume leadership roles in e-commerce initiatives in regional businesses. Not only do they gain skills in web site development, but they learn to generate a business plan, develop marketing strategies, establish product distribution processes, and utilize sales and marketing analysis tools. These are all skills which enable students to become positive contributors to our work force and community at large." Ed Baker Dean of Continuing Education SCCC "Students involved in the eCommEd course learn fundamental business skills …The program is a great way for students to learn modern business skills in a creative, hands-on way, while schools enjoy the publicity and revenues the student business generates." Business & Marketing Education Newsletter, March 2001 New York State Education Department "eCommEd is providing the students at Schenectady High School with the unique opportunity to operate their own student-run e-commerce business. Our students are in involved in all the aspects of forming and running a real-world company, right from their classroom. This innovative approach, which links school to careers, also incorporates academic skills such as English Language Arts and Mathematics. eCommEd is providing SHS students with skills that will help them be successful students and workers in the 21st Century economy. Observing these students in class quickly finds one participating with them in this quality program." Dr. John Falco Superintendent Schenectady School District "This new e-commerce course provides many new opportunities to learn about business over the Internet.
