Glad our site was fun to demo. Did you sign up for the beta for our desktop software? It'll be released soon, and within a few weeks will have some features I think educatirs will go nuts over. Keep it up!

Interesting that the Foreign Language teachers were so willing to adapt. Ours in the lower-school are as well. Having the laptops are such a nice commodity. With all the tech offerings that the FL teachers need and will use, I'm sure they will be knocking on the doors for more, more, more.

I have loved reading about your last two projects. In fact will be adding them to my list of potential projects for my teachers. I worked with our 7th grade teacher this past summer to redo our 6-8th grade curriculum. We decided to do a lot of projects. We used to use Future Kids and the teacher just read the instructions (before I got here) and kids did exactly as they were told. All the so-called projects looked the same. I digress, We started the year with small fun projects, like playing Lemonade stand and keep track of information and creating a table for it. Creating a PPT that is about each student. As the year came along we added different project themes together for more advance projects like for Science Fair having an interactive PPT and next is our English Term Papers and 8th Grade School Magazine and News letters.

Keep up the great work and keeping us inform!
