Our online textbook, created by middle school students over the last four years, has been twitted by Ashton Kutcher, Alan November and many others. Our students created the following youtube to place on the homepage of the online textbook found at dgh.Wikispaces.com.
The basic idea three seventh graders came up with, is that no one person writes the book, so no one person should completely answer a question. They interviewed Mike and I and five students and then took the two hours of interviews and made a 2 minutes introduction for the online book. I was a little unsure of the idea until I saw the final product. They got to the main idea of the book...we are all better off when we work together to produce the content. We are very proud of the kids who did this as a final project for their seventh grade year: they left a positive digital footprint and legacy. They would love to see your comments on the video and online textbook.
