The deadline is coming! The deadline is coming!




The "Name a Pup of Liberty" Contest is quickly drawing to a close! The deadline for entries is March 31.

Have your class use the "punny" formula to name a new character for our upcoming sequel to Pups of Liberty: The Boston T-Bone Party. The new film will focus on the "Dogclaration of Independence."

The winning teacher will receive a Kindle Fire, and his/her class will receive a prize as well.  Plus, you'll get credit for the name, which will be used in the new film.

For the full details, visit http://www.izzit.org/contests/index.php.

Special thanks to our teachers!



We've just concluded our annual survey where 600 teachers are randomly selected from the izzit.org database to give us additional feedback to help us improve our products.

This survey is different from the "regular" feedback forms we ask teachers to complete in order to receive a free DVD each year. Teachers responded to a total of approximately 35 questions designed to help us understand how teachers like/use our products, and what else they'd like to see.

It generally takes about 10 minutes to complete. These gift cards are our way of thanking those teachers for their time.

We can't improve our products without your feedback, so we appreciate every form of it, from our regular feedback form, to the emails you send us, to the completion of our annual survey.

Thank you!
