Great concept! I love that you created a blog to document the journey. To start, perhaps the teacher could guest blog here just once for the first month, then twice the second month, until she feels ready to add more. As for the video, you could have students pair up to be the team in charge of documenting for the day. It would be interesting to add their perspective. I'm inspired by your enthusiasm and look forward to watching the adventure. Thanks for sending me a link to your new project. Great concept! I love that you created a blog to document the journey.

Not a bad idea. I was thinking of doing it myself just to document it. I don't know if there are really any students willing to take on such a huge project. I'll have to ask around. Thanks, Steve Robert,

I admire the ambition of the project. It will certainly be worth the time as it will serve a great example for your teachers, for teacher who follow your work, and a great advertisement for your school. I look forward to following the progress. Enjoy your day, Kyle Steven

It will be excellent to see the video docmenting the process, and I do think a blog or tweets from the teacher would be great. Nice reflective process for the teacher which otherwise might not be captured. Are the students going to be doing the video with or for you? Sounds like a very exciting and ambitious project.

I can't wait to follow the progress. I will try to steer some teachers who are not sold on the benefits of tech toward this project. This could be very instructive. Obviously I hope things run smoothly for all parties, but the reality is that the pitfalls and frustrations associated with this sort of ambitious project will provide great teachable moments for anyone following your progress. Steve, I know you are so positive and forward thinking and I am so glad to be able to watch this seed grow and bear fruit by the end of the year. Good luck! This is exciting!
