This is a fun tool! What a creative way to combine Web 2.0 tools with fun and education. I know if I were to introduce this tool to teachers, they'd love it. I think the most challenging part would be to find a way to incorporate it into a lesson and NOT sink too much time into messing around. I got lost in there and after I looked up, I was messing around for 45 minutes just seeing what the tool had to offer. Keeping the students on task to assure that learning was happening could be challenging. However, as for political cartoons, animal education, sports education, letters, etc. these are all ways that a teacher could incorporate this tool into their lesson. I could especially see this being used at a 6-12th grade level. The tool does have a lot of features and creative aspects and could be overwhelming for elementary students.

Teachers could use this tool for icebreakers or as their own creative stamp on their website. Poking fun at themselves or other friends, this tool could be used for casual portions of their website. Also, teachers could create in-depth cartoons that have to do with specific content and have their students decipher the internal message.
