Did you check out the media-related classroom projects on your “Can You Teach New Media” and the green/sustainability-focused classroom projects on your “Giving made Green” post!

It’s wild how such different posts can raise awareness for specific, relevant projects that can make a real impact for the next generation. Congrats!

The generalized widget should be available at the end of August. By the way, your input on the conference this week was incredibly helpful. Thanks!

The tools will be useful for bloggers and organizations alike. I’m really looking forward to seeing how they get used in the online communities.

It is a “simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund.”

Hope that helps clarify!

I use typepad. Peter mentioned something about a more universally available widget at some point in the future
