Hi,
Prezi is a new way to do class assignments and a fun way to teach a class. The students and classmates will be entertained and learn at the same time. All you have to do is sign up and it is free to do. If you want, you can go to the showcase tab at the top and look at previous made prezis that other people have done. Prezi makes doing big assignment presentations fun with pictures, videos, and different designs.

KidRex is a kid-safe search engine powered by Google custom search. It uses a combination of Google's safe search mode and their own datbase of filtered keywords, phrases and websites.

There is nothing to download. You simply create an account. It is FREE, but only for 30 days… Also, with the trail (FREE) version, you can only upload 24 pictures. This makes a five minute video.

If not careful, your digital footprint will unveil things you rather keep private – or at least concealed from a perspective employer. Where you’ve been, where you are, who you know, where you work, what your hobbies are, what you think about certain issues and in many cases your digital footprint reveals what you look like.
What is the district's digital footprint?
I tried it and Google brought up my sister in-law! It found the real me but, it was further down the page. How do I get to the top?
