Next Generation Technology for the School Yearbook from OdysseyInteractive.com
Introduction
The high school yearbook has been a cherished tradition for more than 150 years. It serves as a snap shot in time of the high school experience. It is a treasured memoir that gets more valuable with time and is a delight for future generations who want to see how mom or dad looked “back in the day.” The ritual of students signing each others yearbooks and wishing one another a bright future or recalling a memorable story is a custom that makes the yearbook more than a collection of images and text.
A Revolution in Yearbook Design
For as long as the modern high school yearbook has been in use, there have been very few improvements on its features or content. Most yearbooks focus primarily on the school activities. Each student gets a head shot, usually in black and white that is not a whole lot bigger than a passport photograph. Only the most active, successful or lucky students are in more than one photograph. The yearbook is organized by a yearbook committee but does not allow individual participation by all students.
