This is a fun, cute, social 3D island world designed especially with children in mind. Children make an avatar and follow a quick tutorial and explanation of safety rules. The children can take their characters on quests, play educational games and interact with other users of the site. A fabulous feature of the site is that users are encouraged to 'make and do' offline as well. These activities can be uploaded to a scrapbook and multimedia blog. Offline activities also generate points in the game. The scrapbook is defaulted to private and no photos of children will be approved by moderators if the scrapbook is public. All the usual safety features are in place, including a 'report' and 'block' other users button. The basic account with most features is free, but there are optional 'paid for' extras.

Interesting ideas -- this teacher is setting off on a journey - scrapbooking 365 days of her life. Interesting idea. For me, it may be just another thing to get behind on. It would be interesting to have a school do this and perhaps pass around a scrapbook between classes -- even better, each class has a page. Interesting idea!
This is, I think, another perfect example of what Clay Shirky would point to in his book, "Here Comes Everybody." Folks just decided to 'get together' to build a place where people could share their images of that day. It then does something that no newspaper or magazine could afford to do - it paints a vivid picture of the day through the lenses of MANY people, thus providing so many different views and perspectives of the HIstoric day.
