It's quite an undertaking on their part. But if you look back at the <a>related post</a>, under "Hmmm", you'll see they <b>want a safe way to socialize</b> on the web. And the <a href="http://stevenmilstein.com/2010/01/05/kicking-off-social-software-in-saras-elementary-school/" rel="nofollow">post</a> shows how they jumped onboard - at least initially. We'll have to see if they stick with, or, is it just a novelty. One thing I can tell you is that since this post, one of the kids downloaded Jing & created a sample video, and two others are since attempting to do the same. They've also started self-organizing & our claiming their features. Thanks for the input & stay tuned. @rick Agreed. It’s quite an undertaking on their part.

But my question would be - what's in it for them? 11-12 year olds need a pretty compelling reason/benefit to take this project to the next level on their own without further guidance or leadership. We know these are worthy skills to attain, but what are the immediate benefits to these youngsters? Because unless they see a clear benefit for them, they will quickly lose interest. What do you think? Steven,
