MakeBeliefsComix is a fantastic instructional tool, especially as a vehicle for story-based learning and co-construction of meaning. The dialogic potential of MakeBeliefsComix is infinite. Disciplines—from World Language to Social Studies to STEM—can profit from the intrinsic motivation implied in a ‘fun’ medium like [program name], where student interaction can be channeled productively in the creation of meaningful verbal exchange concretized in image.

The potential for reflective content, as well as humor, is vast, and at one’s fingertips. Ease of use and user-friendliness with MakeBeliefsComix are incomparable, so children will undoubtedly hit the ground running within seconds and quickly generate genuine artifacts of learning. || //Please sign up to be a guest in at least four of your colleagues' webinars!//

Schoology has the same look and feel as Facebook, so most students will feel comfortable using the site. In addition, it allows teachers to post attendance and grades viewable by individual students on their home pages. Teachers and students have access to their own class periods, which means teachers may post discussion topics, homework, and links for specific classes, which they cannot do on the similar site Edmodo. Parents can request access codes, too, in order to check their students' progress. Schoology also offers an app for Android, iPhone, and iPad. || //Please sign up to be a guest in at least four of your colleagues' webinars!//
