“I remember the first time I tried this approach. What transpired was truly magical. My students were electrified, and the excitement that rippled throughout the classroom touched even those students who seemed to have checked out long ago…. What better way could there be to incorporate the spirit of honoring the individual in teaching than through DIY media?”
—From the Foreword by Shannon Decker, high school teacher
