Whynot.net Ideas
Here are some ideas I posted on the Whynot.net site – which is still fascinating. Enjoy.
| large-scale textbk review web
In order to improve textbooks and thus improve the education and minds of those in school (at all levels) who will use them here is what I propose. A website that acts as a clearing house, and improvement center. Anyone who is interested can get hold of a textbook, read it, and give it a review including ideas for improvement and corrections. There could be a rating system from a: this book is complete crap and should never be found in a student’s hands to z: this book hits the nail on the head and is pretty good as is. If adults were willing to involve themselves in such a review, we could put pressure on textbook makers to improve their product, because now, there is no such feedback loop. The goal would be to get better-written, more captivating textbooks into the hands of students through an extensive system of community review. I think this is a great idea and would love to work with others to get it started. If you agree, please get in touch with me at albertkaufman @ gmail.com Thanks! Albert Kaufman, Jul 22 2008
