Thing # 6

I really enjoyed the trading cards. Those could be used with students creating one on themselves, or on a subject. You could then print them (if on a subject) and use it as a review with the students. They have to describe the event and if right, they get the card. It's very user friendly and easy to make.

I'm trying again to download picture. Here I go. Yea! I was successful.

Thing # 5

Flickr would be great to use in the classroom. As I was reading about it I came up with several ideas on how to use it. One thing that could be done is for the students to use it as a way to introduce themselves the their classmates. We always have them do something on paper "All About Me" as a way of getting to know them. Now I can use Flickr. Of course the most logical way this could be used is with the content I would be teaching. Social Studies is one of the subjects that I teach and the picture has to do with it. I can't seem to up load the image I chose. I seem to have the worst luck when uploading pictures to my blog. I still haven't been able to get my Avatar to show up. Be assured, I am not giving up. I will continue to work on downloading my flickr picture and get my avatar to show.

My blog has been registered with Library2Play. This is probably the easiest one to do.
