Fred - definitely, a modular approach is the way to go. Writing a book is
daunting. Writing a single lesson is easy. If 100 people write and share a
single good lesson, we have something.
I'm in the process of getting some thoughts together that break down the
challenges (as I see them) and some ways to minimize those challenges.
Bill - I'd love to see more about the project you are working on. It sounds like
a great idea.
Cheers,
Bill

Hi!
Cool idea, Fred. I posted the wikichapters link to MiddleTalk in case
anyone else is interested. The idea of a modular approach makes sense
from a global perspective, and would also allow students in future
Foundations classes at my school to use this year's kids work as a
resource and add in their own new ideas.
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." (Buddhist
Proverb) I really really wish I'd been ready for this project years
earlier, but better now than never. Thanks again to all!
Take care,
Bill Ivey
