• Interactive Writing Tools

  This is where Interactive Writing Tools come in.

More importantly, these writing sites will help you to build students’ critical thinking skills which are necessary for effective writing.

• The Birdseye View – The Baby Hawks Are Here! – TIME

  Thanks to clearer video, infrared sensors for better nighttime viewing, and the tendency of hatchlings to stay put while mom or dad sallies forth to find food, webcams trained on bird nests are a lot more fun to watch than they were even a few years ago.
