Comments
Thanks for the posting and comments. Piclits is a great tool for language arts teachers and ESL or ELL teachers to use for not only composition work but for teaching grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary, punctuation, and even spelling. DRAG-N-DROP or FREESTYLE give the user lots of flexability.
What do you think of the site?
We could use lots of feedback. Plans for 2009 include a PRINT function, grouping photos by theme/categories and maybe a contest (weekly)
thanks in advance.
