About School Newspapers Online

Who We Are
Launched in the summer of 2008 by Jason and Tom, School Newspapers Online is a company based in Minnesota’s Twin Cities. We focus specifically on the needs of high-school newspapers looking to create or enhance their presence on the Internet.

Jason has been a high-school newspaper adviser and teacher for over 14 years in Minnesota and South Dakota.  He is currently an English teacher and school newspaper adviser at Benilde-St. Margaret’s School in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Tom is an Internet veteran, having worked in the industry for over 9 years as a trainer, project manager, and product manager. He currently leads a team of project and product managers, and develops strategy for product development.

How We Began
School Newspapers Online began as we teamed up to build a school newspaper Web site for the newspaper that Jason advises, the Knight Errant, which won a 2009 NSPA Online Pacemaker award. Since building this initial site, we have launched more than 200 Web sites for school newspapers online.

Our Mission
We’ve designed our Web sites to address the concerns and needs of newspaper advisers and their staffs. In an era of tight school funding, we know that school newspapers are often one of the early casualties during budget cuts. That’s why our biggest priority in creating this company was to keep our Web sites affordable. But don’t let our low price fool you — our sites are as functional and as professionally designed as those used by major newspapers. We build all of our sites on open-source software, and that’s helped us to keep our costs low.

We know how overwhelming changing technology can be — our services are designed to take care of all the technological challenges for you. As our clients use our sites and grow in their knowledge and understanding of Web publishing and Web design, we’ll be there to help by answering any type of question they have regarding the use, design, and function of their site.

When we set out on this project, we wanted to create professional quality Web sites that are fully-customizable, highly-functional, completely affordable, and absolutely easy to use. We believe that we’ve succeeded in reaching our goal, and we are proud to offer you and your student journalists the chance to make your school newspaper relevant in today’s digital age. We would love to get you and your program started on the Web and give you the guidance you need to prepare your students for the everchanging world of modern journalism.

Everybody that has access to your personal computer and also the Internet knows that you can do looking and find online school offered by colleges and various universities to help promote your education at basically your personal pace, however statistically do you realize the numerous amounts of people nowadays who disagree with all the school being taught online?

For them, for universities to show school online isn’t really teaching. I’m serious, there exists a forum I stumbled across that people were actually concerned with people that teaching school online. After all when they are utilized by a school and teaching school online, they may be real people. I knew someone in fact, that been dealing with a school getting her GED online and her instructor was only one of the numerous that teaching school online, in the college she was going through. It was a local college, however instructors were all teaching school online of numerous variety.

Because lots more people now previously are studying online and people that teaching school online are only being outnumbered by people who make courses. Someone needs to check assignments sent to the college website via email. Obviously it is the the one which teaching school online, after which sends the assignments out.

Look at it this way, they’re literally here to explain to school online, though the classroom is invisible, you can’t see it, however it continues. We shouldn’t underestimate those who teaching school online. Its they who help students learn it doesn’t matter how old or young we may be. The simple truth people, is we live in an advanced world now, if computers could be inside actual classroom and our little ones are learning on them, I am aware you can find those who are capable to explain to school online.
