I also used Mixbook for my 'buddy bear' project (see http://www.clearspring.com/widgets/476abda21237f37b?p=47ed03f3b7d7348c) that we are doing with the IV American Academy in Taiwan. Our project is @ https://buddybear.wikispaces.com/. Thanks for mentioning me, Sylvia!

In order to improve our collaboration in real time, we have actually disabled collaboration between different accounts for the time being. Logging in on different computers with the same account is still possible, but students must be aware that they cannot alter any other pages except their own.

And a great way to handle copyrighted images - I struggle with that when working with younger students. Question: If the teacher created one account on Mixbook, can more than one person be logged in at a time working on the pages on different computers?

I feel like this is a stupid question, but how do you check the licensing of a photo online to see if it is available for public use? Do you know of an easy way to teach the students (and me) how to do this? thanks! This looks like a great project, Silvia.
