Thanks for sharing Kim. I love how Gail frames these tools, which include some of my favorites, for use with young students. And it definitely convinced me that I need to spend more time exploring Glogster.

Comfort Zones

Thanks for reminding me of the VSTE ning...Betty Larkin mentioned it a while ago, but I never signed up! I think I'll ease up for now...I must have signed up for a million networks. My bookmarked network "flake" on Pageflakes is now overflowing!

Didn't our fearless Executive Director tell you that we spoke. He shared with me how he was in important sessions with you today. I also met the leader of the Wisconsin affiliate. I am at the Wyndam on Navarro & Travis Streets.
