5 years, 5 months ago5 years, 5 months agoHi,

How do I get to that bone size app from Aaron?

All apps designed by @aaron-wood for this project are online: http://www.idigfossils.org/supporting-apps/
If you have a wild idea and feel that an app would be a good component for your lesson, please let us know!

5 years, 6 months ago5 years, 6 months agoHello, I just wanted to encourage all of you who might be interested in signing up for this newsletter:
