These are my links for February 26th through February 27th:

• TileStack - Your Creative Playground - A Simple Idea

  TileStack is a simple idea with endless potential. We asked ourselves, “What if it were possible for kids, teachers, hobbyists and even small businesses to quickly learn how to create interactive slides, games, applications and more?” Imagine the possibilities when everyone, not just the computer geeks, have the know-how. Give them a community where they can come together, share ideas, learn by example and improve the creations of one another. And encourage them to share and publish what they make, so everyone can enjoy it.

• Customizing your Avatar for Newbies for less - Remember that some freebies are for new Avatars only.
• Lemelson Center?s Invention at Play: Invention Playhouse - Exploration/Tinkering

  Exploratory play is about asking questions: ?What happens when I do this?? ?What if I did it this way?? Experimenting with materials and pushing their limits encourages us to consider a wide range of possibilities when problem-solving. Playing around with objects and ideas helps us see that there may be more than one solution.

  Some inventors have a goal in mind and work persistently toward it. Others stumble across solutions to problems they weren?t trying to solve.
