Digital life revisited

When my class was selected to particitpate in this project, I wondered how it would turn out. During our prep training, I met some of the best educators in the State of California. Bod Pletka did an awesome job of compiling work from some dozens of schools, riding heard on some of us who were procrastinators, and compiling this awesome work. If you want to see California's finest working to show you what school life is like, this is the extensive photo essay you want to purchase. Well worth the price!

I recommend this book

This book is likable for several different reasons....It provides a social anthropology of children and teens and allows readers to peer into the lives of diverse teens. Some quotes are eye opening and others are confirming of my perceptions of teens. The photos selected are very good and stand on their own merit. I like how this book is written and photographed by teens, so it's not like those dense theses by ivory tower scholars writing about what they think teens arelike.

How insightful!

I never realized how much life has changed for teens....this is a must read for anyone on marketing to teens.
