During the season of darkness, in the northern hemisphere, we rely on daily brightness “of sorts” to lighten up our days.

Here are some “gifts” for you and your students to brighten your days.

• Check out the 2nd round of google search stories
• ghotit.com  - a gift of spell check and grammar check as your student is finishing that essay, watch your student’s faces light up!
• 365 photos, take a photo a day and post somewhere,there is even a facebook app,  it is a great way to keep a diary/journal
• todo.ly a great way to keep a list of tasks with an automatic countdown
