Scott, I enjoyed watching your presentation on Voice Thread. That was certainly something new to me. I would be interested in learning more about it this year. I also checked out the __Cool Tools for Schools__ and the writing category caught my attention. I didn't realize that there was **Bookr**, a place to create digital books that allows you to link images on **Flickr**. What a great concept. Thanks for sharing the valuable resources! ~ Evelyn 08/07/10

Scott, Thanks for the online stopwatch site. Even though I have a stopwatch already in the classroom, it is good to have an online source as well. It will be handy in my classroom! ~ Evelyn 8/29/10
