Usually, within a few key strokes text or images can be added with beautiful colors that bring the project to life. //Share, Share and Collaborate// Many of the tools mentioned below allow for sharing online. By publishing a project for the world to see, students get the benefit of sharing with the world or at least some friends beyond the confines of the classroom.
