Tell me more
Can the students work remotely?
Students can work remotely but we strongly suggest they work in house, keeping in mind that this is meant to be a learning experience not simply a mechanism for making money. We want you to embrace the student into your team and let them soak up as much as possible.
How much do I have to pay them?
That is between you and the student to negotiate, while keeping in mind that they are still students and are still learning but at the same time aren't your summer lackey. We are looking for web related work, not writing HTML for 20 min then taking lunch orders and getting lunch for your team for an hour and a half.
I think I'm interested, what now?
Great, send me an email at mrbrown at teachmetheweb dot org and tell me what you have to offer, give me the full who, what, and when of the position and we'll see if we can line up some interviews.
