Update on Flypaper- No More Free Rides

I regret to have to post that FLYPAPER which I listed some time ago as a great FREE resource for bringing content to your students has left BETA and has announced that beginning Sept 13, there will no longer be a free version. I am assuming that this will mean that any content you had hosted by their sight will most likely become unreachable after the switch. While there is no notification on their site (even the free download site) I was notified via email. This program is still a great resouce, but at $99 a year, I am not sure how many classroom teachers may find this indispensable. Only time will tell.

A little more for the lighter side

Sometimes technology can provide things that are simply FUN! Thank Goodness!! One of the niftier web apps I have come across lately is called ... BIGSTAGE....

This program is a Beta right now which means that it might not be perfect, and that the developers hope to learn about how users use and like/dislike their program. At www.bigstage.com you can create a free account and do stuff like... edtechguru gets into American Gothic OR EVEN… If you upload three photos of your face, it does an admirable job of creating a 3D avatar with your likeness… VERY COOL!!
