Ning -
I’ve been a part of Ning since I attended iSummit 08. I joined the Ning network called Global Green Schools. Global Green Schools is a resource for teachers and students to communicate and collaborate on projects involving environmentalism and sustainability. The Lovett School is currently building a “GREEN” middle school so this was a [...]
Page Flakes

ToonDoo – http://www.toondoo.com/
ToonDoo is an amazing tool. I use comic life with my 3rd and 5th grade students and ToonDoo is going to be a tool added to my curriculum. It’s like comic life with ease. I love the drag and drop features and all the pre-made characatures you can use for your comic.
My 3rd grade students used [...]
