Digital Textbooks

Then

In 1970 I was teaching a seventh grade Social Studies class and I quickly realized that the textbook we were assigned was not comprehendible by students.

I decided that we would write our own text.  Each child was assigned a topic and had to produce one page.  I encouraged them to also create a picture or design for their page.

The final copies were done on rexograph or ditto pages. (I still have that purple ink on fingers!) I ran off copies of the book for all the students in the class.

Principal wrote the following:

February 16, 1970 - Berriman Junior High School 64 "A Study of the American Revolution" - "This total group effort under your inspirational and devoted guidance, provided a built-in motivation for a sustained and integrated learning experience."
