    A friend shared: "When some Kindergarten teachers at [his school] asked [me] to find a web tool to help their students create simple drawings and write sentences below them, I searched but found nothing. So, I asked ABCYa's Alan Tortolani (a friend of mine) if he could come up with something. Here's the result. Kids love it! Printed output looks great. Perfect for early writers and artists!

    This promotes a book, but it is a nice little article. It serves as a nice little reminder that we constantly have to adapt and make changes, and that that's okay. The book seems like a good summer read too!

  •  
    What does a summer vacation with required reading look like? For 16-year-old Heather Smith, every Friday last summer meant making sure her reading assignment was done. A junior at Golden West High School in Visalia, CA, Smith had to read Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and write weekly journal entries.* Make those choices student friendly.. Super advice
