I began the Electronic Textbook as a collection of schematics, tables, handouts, graphics, and short writings I use in my teaching.  For my classes in American foreign policy and International Relations, I have developed the Bush Watch page to help students and netizens understand and research our controversial president.  But perhaps my best idea was having students contribute their ideas in the Student Pages.
