  Adopt-A-Classroom by Thomas

It’s been quiet here for a while, but we have some exciting new features planned for later this year and we’ve already started working on them… sorry - can’t tell you much more yet. :-)

But in the meantime we’ve seen amazing things happen on MapSkip, with teachers and students from all over the world making the site their own. We love it!

And while we are having a great time following along with students here on the site, let’s not forget that in the current economic climate many classrooms are desperately underfunded - even in supposedly rich places like here in California, many teachers spend their own money to buy teaching supplies for their students. These costs can go into the thousands of dollars!

If you want to make a difference in how our children learn in school, take a look at Adopt-A-Classroom (not affiliated with MapSkip.com), where you can donate directly to teachers who will otherwise not be able to teach children as they would like to. Every small donation helps.

One Comment to “Adopt-A-Classroom”

  1. Thank you for mentioning a site that supports teachers…you are right; we do spend a lot of $$ on classroom supplies and more. As a French teacher in a middle school, I am trying to use mapskip to have “conversations” with our pen pals in Belgium. I have a 10-year exchange program whereby we travel to Liege every other year and they come here …this mapping allows us to show them our city. Merci!
