Freemium MEOGRAPH, the interactive storytelling tool which proved best in show at EdSurge's Inaugural Teacher Tank, has released a new set of premium features aimed specifically at educators. Meograph's core functionality -- story creation through maps, timelines, web links, and multimedia -- is still 100% free, but the new licensed features remove some of the practical barriers to classroom-wide implementation. They include a classroom management tool that lets teachers view student content in a single place (addressing direct feedback from one of our teacher sharks!), privacy options for sharing with groups or individuals, and privacy-compliant registration for users under the age of 13. Plans start at $19.99/year for up to 40 students.
