I love Boolify in particular and it has made searching for information so much easier. The students were able to easily answer their questions in our non-fiction reading unit by adding a number of key words in their search. This will make such a difference to our learning next year too as I'd love to introduce the safe searches earlier in the year. It helps to evaluate the usefulness of websites too, which is an important tool for students when they are bombarded with so much information. Thanks again for your help!

Glad you enjoy reading my blog and I hope you find it useful. Stacie is a fabulous teacher to work with and her students are fun to work with too! I hadn't heard of kidrex.org and searchpants.com, so I'm going to check those out. I do like quinturakids.com but the day I wanted to introduce it to the students, it would work properly so I left it out. Hi Carrie

I'm the Tech Integration Specialist at the American School of Milan and have spent some time lately chatting with one of your 5th grade teachers, Stacie. I enjoy reading your blog! I have been gathering info about Kid-Friendly search engines this year too. We've been trying out kidrex.org, searchpants.com, and quinturakids.com in addition to some of the ones you mentioned. I'll add some of your resources to our collection! Chrissy, thanks for sharing!

It’s a fabulous day where we come together and celebrate our differences and similarities. This year’s theme was One Day One World. Our clever Art Specialists, Paz Molina & Trish Neubrand came up with a mural idea that would ensure that ALL the ES students could contribute too. Read about how it was made here.

I think your app is very good for a free app so thank you for making it available! I do think that the onion/ghost skin feature will be excellent and yes, you are right, publishing without some editing isn't what people would like. You can edit the frames in your app already and I do like that you can continue to add frames to a project later. Being able to add own music would be a great option too. Hi David

In the next days will be available a new version with new features like onion/ghost skin. I have to modify the gui in order make it more userfriendly. I don't think people want to publish video on facebook or youtube without some video editing and music (or I don't like to see video like that). Do you think it's a useful feature? thanks and Happy Stop Motion. david I’m David from StopMotionCafe, Thanks for the review, I’m happy to see that people use my application.

Your stop-motion movie was great and was a big hit on International Day. Thanks for all your hard work putting it together and helping out yet again with the Country Roll Call. Would you mind if I post the video on my class blog and share it with my students? I'm sure they'll love it! Hi Chrissy,
