Wow! This is awesome! You are using the tools we've been talking about in our class with your students and it seems to me in such an exciting way. The GLOGSTER introduces the setting and characters and your profile draws us into the time. The FROM THE FRONT page incorporates video as well as text and photo insert. I am excited for your students. Vietnam, which is still real to me (my brother was drafted and became an MP at Long Binh) is ancient history to the students of today. I think your use of 21st century tools can help bring the past to reality for them. I can also see, if you had time, having students WIKI or BLOG about what else was happening during the time frame of the book. The 60s were an exciting but dangerous time.
So how do you get to the pages? I feel like a complete rookie. I can't figure out how to get to the From the Front page. It sounds really cool and I want to check out how you are using it.
