I think I've got a decent handle on the development aspect of this, many thanks to this forum for all the help! One area in which I lack is graphics. I'm awful with Photoshop and am not terribly inclined towards that kind of work. Any suggestions on where I could purchase graphics/icons for my app? I am concerned about the licenses used by most stock icon sets (as well as duplication). Do any of you have a designer you get stock sets from? How do you all handle this? Thanks!

I also use BT with my 6th grade students and I'd like to have a set to offer them to use. I still worry about the licensing, though. As for my app, it's a technology/training app, so a techy icon set would be nice. Thanks for responding! Chris Comments Thanks for the offer!

But rest assured I never refer anyone to places I haven't dealt with before and been very happy with. Always good deals to be found. And here's the license info on the first set: "All icons are royalty-free for personal, commercial and client projects."

And I don't mean to spam my affiliate links, but with the extra discount, they are a real good deal.

Thanks for all your help. I'm also looking at other sites for students to use, but this will get me started nicely.
