These are a selection of the things I have been saving up to tell you about. Many thanks to my many friends on Twitter, Facebook, Skype ... and those in the 3D world for the 'heads-up'.
1. The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed by John Boswell designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form. Here you can watch music videos, download songs, read lyrics and find links relating to the messages conveyed by the music.
The project owes its existence in large measure to the wonderful work of Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, of Druyan-Sagan Associates, and their production of the classic PBS Series Cosmos, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals. Continuation of the music and videos relies upon generous support from fans and followers.
2. Self Grading Quizes using Google Forms

4. Titan Pad
This is another 'rescue' of Ether Pad for educational use. Like PrimaryPad.
5. PicLits
Whole word sentence building with attitude. PicLits.com is a creative writing site that matches beautiful images with carefully selected keywords in order to inspire you.
