Hi Joe. I'm a high school English teacher that has promoted the hitRECord website and its published books to my students. I've even had classes spend a day reading and discussing the "Shadowplay" story from RECollection: Volume 1. I would like to know if you have always had an ambitious long-term vision for the website that has led to such amazing accomplishments as the published books, live shows, and hitRECordlery, or if a lot of the website's best developments have simply been fortuitous. Lastly, I have wanted the REC Robot T-Shirt for a few years now and it's always listed as sold out on the store page. Please stop taunting me and remove it from the page. Even if you don't, please keep adding new items to the store page. Thanks. Have a good day/night.

I'd love to get students to contribute but haven't taken it that far yet. Maybe this will be the year. At the time I used "Shadowplay" to excite and lead the students into collaborating on their own "offline" short stories with illustrations. We also had a great discussion on the collaborative approach to art promoted by hitRECord. Anyway, thanks for everything that you do (and your thoughtful response to my comment). I hope to see a hitRECord show in Chicago if/whenever that happens. Take care.

Hey JGL, in your last AMA you responded to a comment I made about how I'm a high school English teacher who used a short story from RECollection volume 1 in a lesson. I just want to let you know that I'm still trying to find new ways to integrate HitRECord into lessons. I would love to have students contribute to the site. Do you think requiring students to contribute would take the fun out of it for them or be a bad idea in general? Have a good day!
