Felt like old times with folks demoing tools.  Found that ProProfs is a great alternative to flashcard maker and studystack with many more options, thanks Jane.  Cacoo reminds me of a supped up version of glogster.  I would think that glogster is more 4th grade friendly with all its cute applications where as Cacoo is geared more toward presentations, flowcharts, and mapping - thanks Colleen.

The History of IT presentation on edutainment was like a blast from the past.  I am definitely going to take a look into the Jason project info and see what I can apply towards my own science class.  I looked up edutainment games and found Mavis Beacon - where most of us learned how to type!  

After the midterm freeze, I will be looking to find some unexplored tool to present.  Any ideas?  Well, need to continue working toward achieving my 50 points!
