Buckle Boy – Real Social Networking at the Speed of Light.
So what do you get if you combine your schools needs with the power of the web? Buckle Boy! Allow me to explain
We began with a problem at the middle school: how can we raise
awareness of seatbelt safety? First, we looked for a resource with the
sticky factor – something that sticks in your mind, and makes you
think of that idea when the right stimulus is present (eg. a seatbelt).
So, we went hunting high and low on the web, and discovered a YouTube video
by a high school senior, Aaron Bingea, in Delano, Minnesota. In Aarons
videos, he personifies the seat belt, and reminds viewers that, You
have a superhero in your car.
