List member, Arlyn Belden, asked me about online comic strip
generation.? I found this one that may be of interest to others.? You
cannot save them but you can print them. (The way I saved it was to
print it to a PDF document instead of to a printer.? You might ask your
IT about using a free program called PrimoPDF at http://www.primopdf.com
to do this.? That way, the kids can email their cartoons to relatives, etc.

In appreciation of teachers across the United States who give endlessly
and enrich so many lives, AMC and Paramount Pictures are offering
teachers (K-12) an exclusive opportunity to see the highly acclaimed
film “FREEDOM WRITERS” for FREE.? Seems to be only good for the U.S. -
sorry, everyone else!

Redwater teacher, Fred Moody, found this interesting global
collaborative effort.? After 2200 years, this group feels that it’s time
to choose 7 new wonders of the world.? You can have your vote by
visiting the site for some research and to cast your ballot.? This would
make for some very interesting classroom discussions!

My pal, Shane Grundy, has had a vision to turn his website into a
discussion area – to have teachers talk freely about educational
issues.? He hopes to post a new discussion topic every weekend and allow
people to add comments and discuss the issue.? This weeks it’s about Web
2.0 (on-line applications such as blogs) and its value in education.
Shane encourages any and all interested parties to read and discuss.
