Tool #3

This tool was so fun! I had to finally stop myself from creating images and adding more gadgets to my blog! I hope that my enjoyment of these tools is contagious and my students can enjoy this all as much as I have. I think any time you add a personal element by allowing them to use pictures of themselves or their friends and family, then you have their interest. Also, I think it would be great to use these different sites to allow them to create a project about something they are learning in the classroom. For example, I am thinking that in science they could take pictures of weathering and erosion around the playground/school and then create a mosaic of the pictures. Another thing is that they could use Wordle to create a brainstorm of different nouns or verbs or adjectives as a prewriting activity. The sky's the limit for how creative they can be!
