I saw a conversation that you were having on twitter with @HooKnowsBhamAL regarding building a site to showcase your four year old artists artwork. Would you mind sharing the platform or site that you used to create it? Also, are the images protected from being copied? My 11 year old son wants to showcase his work. He’s entering the 6th grade at Simmons in a few weeks. I see that you’re a 6th grade teacher. How cool is that?
Thanks for any information that you would be willing to provide. Great blog, by the way!
Thanks,
Jessica

(http://oldschoolteach.wordpress.com/2010/08/21/a-fresh-start-denied/) I am so glad that you are a teacher who is willing to give a kid a chance, and to make them feel successful!
