"Shidonni is a site where students can draw their favorite animal with a world to live in it and see the animal spring to life. Kids take care of their animals by feeding, petting or sending them to sleep. The animal eats the food that kids have drawn for it. They can choose if they want their pet to walk or fly, and they can name it. Kids can draw a background and change it whenever they want. They can play games with their virtual animals or send them to their friends to play with their animals. You can watch this introduction video. This site is great for kindergarten students but I'm sure primary kids will love and enjoy this site too!! This can be a great tool for digital storytelling or describing animals or daily routines."

The Under-Told Stories Project works to expand, sustain and improve coverage of the world outside America in broadcast, print and emerging new media outlets.

"We wanted to create a world so children could have a place of their own, a place that allows them to explore and grow without constant pressure to buy stuff," says MiniMonos founder Melissa Clark- Reynolds, an entrepreneur, climate change activist, and mother.

After reading and watching the various contributors pages to My Footprint, you will create a type of survivors' guide for living in a world with digital tools. Consider it to be something like the Boy Scout's Guide. You might call it the Handbook for Making Footprints or The Complete Idiot's Guide to Digital Citizenship and Making Footprints. Or better yet, give it your own title.

Great way for students to be involved in and live with a WWO
