Wouldn't it just figure....I just put my daughters 2nd Birthday invitations in the mail yesterday. It's not until today, that I learn how to do this SUPER cool effect to the photo! Well, I guess I'll have to wait for the 3rd birthday party ;) Playing around with Thing 8 was a lot of fun! Wow - I can see how this can get addicting! I really liked using Spell with Flickr - I'm not too sure just how many words I tried spelling, but it was fun to see how they came out. Not to mention - being able to click on each letter to change it as well. I also liked playing around on the Big Huge Labs site. Along with the activities, I found their list of the top digital cameras to be interesting. We are in the market to replace our current Canon - so I'll have to let my husband know of this site! As far as usefulness in the classroom, students in the upper level Spanish classes, assume identities of famous Hispanic personalities - and having them make a trading card with various facts of their person would be pretty cool! Name, Date of birth, Place of birth, Projects they were/are involved in, etc. all in the target language would be a neat addition to their project!

The trading cards are such a versatile tool. What a great use of them!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you already have projects that would easily incorporate Flickr and its tools. I find myself racking my brain to come up with ideas to use the "things" in the classroom. I am just not sure how applicable they is for my class (7th grade boys American Studies).
