This is just a quick blog post to point out that we have updated the Terms of Use for GeoGraffiti.  Previously we had an age limitation of 13+ to be able to register and use GeoGraffiti.  Drawing inspiration from Liz Kolb’s Blog and her post on GeoGraffiti and other expert educators, we are building a set of features to beef up our service so it can be used in the classroom no matter what the age of the student.  As a first step, we dropped the age requirement so elementary and middle school students who were previously unable to register will now be able to.  Similarly, educators who previously wanted to have their K-8 students use GeoGraffiti as a learning tool, will now be able to formally suggest it.

Here are a few links to some uses of GeoGraffiti by Educators and Students:
