I can already picture many ways to use them with students. How about you? Any creative ideas?

    Any class with an internet connection will benefit sooo much from a tool like this, especially language classes.

    I'm glad you liked, Seth!

    We've been sharing very interesting image tools at http://images4education.ning.com/forum/topics/tools-using-images. Though I know how busy you are, I'm sure you'd profit from the tools the group has been sharing.
