Odyssey Interactive Expands its MyYearbookBuilder System to Offer Digital Yearbooks to Middle School Students

New Milford, Connecticut (October 1, 2011) – Odyssey Interactive, the nation’s leading publisher of digital yearbooks for high school, is proud to announce the expansion of its MyYearbookBuilder system to include publishing digital yearbooks for middle school (grades 5, 6, 7 & 8).

Today, kids grow up keeping in touch online, posting photos and messages on Facebook or MySpace pages, and they identify more with their own network of friends rather than the entire school. However, these popular social-networking sites lack the organization and structure of the traditional yearbook and remain an inadequate substitute at the end of the school year. 

Odyssey Interactive has combined the best of digital and social media with the traditional paper yearbook for middle schools searching for rich media and more interactive viewing experiences.

“This is an exciting time for middle school administrators and represents unprecedented opportunity,” said Joseph Durdock, Founder and Chief Executive at Odyssey Interactive. “With MyYearbookBuilder ,maybe most important is the fact that middle schools can now get the respect and attention they deserve from their publishing company, regardless of order volume or student body size,” 

MyYearbookBuilder Middle School (MS) is an online, electronic yearbook publishing system that integrates all facets of the yearbook creative development and production process. It’s a powerful tool that provides a centralized point of entry for yearbook content collection, organization and management, which includes photographs, audio, video and type-written text. The end result is a unique eYearbook that contains self-expression, artistic design, sophisticated technology and rich, interactive experiences.

All parts of the traditional yearbook have been preserved in the MyYearbookBuilder MS publishing system including the ability to sign via eSignatures, and students can also sell advertisements in the form of eYearbook banner ads.

“MyYearbookBuilder MS will be especially attractive to our middle schools and younger students because absolutely no HTML or programming knowledge is required, a creative wizard guides our users through the portrait development process and an upload wizard assists with adding photos, videos and audio files,” said Andrew Edwards, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “In addition, we find comfort in knowing that our system is not an open communication forum and that we’ve taken all necessary precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience”
