If you do not see a FULL PAGE of "Tech Ideas and sites" below and you are using the "CHROME" browser, please switch to "FIREFOX" or "EXPLORER" to see everything on this page...for instance, you should see POWTOONS, GO ANIMATE, TEACHER GAMING and many more!!. As wonderful as "CHROME" is, for some reason sometimes it only shows a very small portion of the page. Please don't miss out...just temporarily change your browser :)
Have fun making your own texts that can make your message 'pop'.... go to http://www.glitx.com
