I'm enjoying the flickr site, and an FYI, if you have sbcglobal.net, ATT.net or another AT&T internet connection, you have the flickr pro edition free. Didn't realize that it was extra special before because I hadn't explored.
The comic maker in flickr is similar to the "ComicLife" software. Or district just purchased this software and I am looking forward to using it with students. It allows you to make comic book pages using your own pictures or pictures freely shared on the web (be careful what they choose to download for this - make sure it is freely shared, but there are a lot out there) It will be a fun alternative for some reports and writting assignments. You can download a 30 day free trial of the software on the net at http://plasq.com/products/ for either Mac or Windows. It runs around $25 to buy a single copy but buying multiple copies for schools, or better yet districts, makes it VERY cheap. Give it a try. It's not hard to learn!

Seriously? I didn't realize that. Thanks for sharing...I do have sbcglobal! YEA
I didn't know that either (Flickr Pro)... Thanks for sharing that info!
ComicLife is so much fun... I got a bit carried away with it one day and did a whole week's worth of lessons with it... By Friday, the groans were high audible in my class :)
