Thing #8; Let's Mashup

P O letter S t number 8




I chose to use Spell with Flickr (example above) and Big huge Labs (example below) . They were both  easy, fun and  I could see getting addicted to these "tools".  


There were various styles of letters and I think it can be useful for both school and personal projects. As for using it in the classroom you could have your students use it to make one word to describe themselves or maybe just to personalize their desk with their name, which can help you to learn your student’s names.
Like I stated about it found this application to be easy to use. However I did have a hard time uploading my creation onto my blog. There are a lot of creative, cool things you can do with your digital pictures. In the classroom you could use this along with pictures of your students and at the end of the year create something to look back on all the different activities that were done during the year.
  
Photo Sharing
Photo sharing online can be such a blessing. I am miles away from my family so its great to be able to upload pictures for them to view or order. I do try to watch what I post publicly of my children since you never know who is on the other end viewing the pictures.

  1. The idea about using Flickr to personalize student's desks is a creative idea. It is an anwsome way to include technology and creativity in the classroom. I would definitely have to use that idea.
