THis is AWESOME! WHat I love about it is the use of digital literacy. I think it's a great example of the kind of stuff that we could be teaching kids how to do to share the information they learn. WIth regard to teaching reading and writing, I see possibilities for teaching point of view and subtle persuasion. Lots of potential. Very powerful. How's that for a new kind of report? It requires analysis and synthesis of information. That's what we need to be teaching kids!

Definitely check this out. I am going to be posting it on the website because I think it has lots of teaching possibilities embodied in it.
