Conversation occurs to the left in the chat window, while paint space (surprisingly effective) is available for student and tutor to work together in real time. At a session's conclusion, the user has the option to save or print the session. The only catch - Tutor.com has a limited number of tutors designated for the Library. During times of heavy usage, students may find themselves waiting for a tutor or logging in at a different time to get homework help.<br />............................................................................................................<br /><br /><div style="font-size: 14pt;"><a style="color: rgb(0, 103, 206); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: none;" track="on" shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001mhumqwW5VrDmzB6Fs2hc9lCSOKYNJcKHrmUj8z_EuCb4Ki5dX25XuOF2tFU8Mo-QQmGtZANRYEEt1-49JHlgZE0iiNQJzwozrMt480_I_C7IABvog2rF1jkssxo9iYUVU9Ib5d2NR-99Xzg70rLS-w==" linktype="1" target="_blank">Carnegie Cyber Space Academy</a><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> (grades 4 + 5)</span><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: underline;"><br /> <a class="imgCaptionAnchor" track="on" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001mhumqwW5VrDmzB6Fs2hc9lCSOKYNJcKHrmUj8z_EuCb4Ki5dX25XuOF2tFU8Mo-QQmGtZANRYEEt1-49JHlgZE0iiNQJzwozrMt480_I_C7IABvog2rF1jkssxo9iYUVU9Ib5d2NR-99Xzg70rLS-w==" shape="rect" target="_blank"><img height="194" vspace="5" border="0" name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2103" hspace="5" width="528" src="http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs163/1102215506357/img/2103.jpg" /></a> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /><br />Carnegie Cyber Space Academy is a free game that can be installed on individual computers or entire computer labs. It was made by Carnegie Mellon's Information Networking Institute and Carnegie Mellon CyLab in response to the growing need of internet safety education. Students are enrolled as "Cadets in training" as they learn how to recognize spam and internet traps, protect personal information, avoid inappropriate content, and deal effectively with cyber-bullying. Cadets must complete missions in order to earn badges, "Academy Credits," and various items.

The real fun starts when users answer a series of personality questions used to sort them into one of the four "Houses" within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
