Take a moment to explore what eCards now has to offer. Recent additions and functional upgrades include:
- an eCards Showcase that allows students to view and send eCards created by students from across Canada. Teachers can nominate as many as three eCards per class. Help us populate the new Showcase by nominating eCards from your 2008/09 classes!
- new introductory videos, produced with students, for Wind Power, Solar Energy, Nuclear Power and Energy Success Stories
- curriculum connections and assessment rubrics for Alberta and Ontario (other provinces to follow)

In May alone, eCards saw 6900 downloads of its teaching resources. In this popular eLearning program designed for grades 7 to 9, students research an energy topic on the eCards website, create an eCard with their own message and graphics, and then send it, with teacher approval, to a recipient of their choice.
