Why publish kids' work to the web?

In my opinion there are many reasons why kids' work should be published to the web. This video located on Dr. John Strange's blog is an exceptional reason why. The kids in PS22's chorus sing with so much emotion and passion that it causes you to wonder why. There's a simple reason in my opinion, and that is they want to be heard and recognized. It's an awesome tribute to Fleetwood Mac. Even Stevie Nicks was moved and touch by their performance.

Other reasons why kids' work should be published to the web is because it exposes an unlimited amount of learning opportunities. One thing comes to mind is the Personal Learning Networks in which our class has an assignment. It allows teachers and students to learn from one another and to inspire one another. It also makes learning active and creative. Not that it already isn't in traditional classrooms, but kids get excited about technology and all that it has to offer.
