I was walking by a classroom today when the teacher grabbed me to help figure out why the kids couldn’t access the clipart in Microsoft Word. While we don’t know why the Word clipart was not coming up, the more important issue is that you and your students have access to a MUCH BETTER clipart collection [...] What one tool makes writing disappear, spotlights items onscreen, and magnifies the minute?
