First visit Jennifer Whiffin’s new blog at In Pursuit of Purpose where she details how she uses Kiva to teach 4th and 5th grade math. Then have a read of  Phil Macoun’s guest blog post on TLITE Online.  Here Phil has written about the Digiteen project.  Kudos to Jennifer and Phil for their excellent work.
