I am enjoying keeping up with your blog. It is great to see someone put all these tools in categories and then discuss how they are used. I will be sharing this with my teachers. Thanks for this work!
Anne,
Nice post on comics! There are lots of resources out there, so it is always helpful to learn what other teachers have actually found useful. We elected to go with comic life, a software app, that is very low cost. My district is still struggling with middle school students signing up for web apps. Hopfully this will change soon. Thanks for the tweet to share!
