Go Animate

Go!Animate is a simple animation / cartoon program that allows personal uploads as well as simple WYSIWYG tools. The site is setup socially with embedded twitter references and a friend system. I can think of so many applications with students...

Make easy animations with your students. Have them compose simple tutorials, PSA's and more.
There is even an option to put the system on your own servers for a price.
A very short clip to test:

Share why you have a network

I am presenting to a group of intermediate teachers on Networks for You and Your Classroom in a few weeks (again with my friend Cheryl Oakes). I need some testimonials from teachers on the importance of their networks. Could you help? If so, please…
