Thing #6. Online Image Generators




Wow! I did not think I would enjoy this task as much as I did. From creating a bathroom pass for my students this year to creating some examples of small projects for my students this year, I had fun with these tools. I can see myself wanting to assign these tasks (and there are definitely plenty of options) for every topic we cover in history class - and, more importantly, I can really see my students getting involved with these projects.

Thing #5. More Flickr Fun

While I love the idea of being able to use and credit others' photos so easily, I am nervous about the idea of posting my own online. This is pretty difficult, as I have not yet purchased a digital camera, and I do not have the patience this summer to scan pictures and then upload them to a photo-sharing service like Flickr.
I am approaching Flickr as an educational tool, as with most of the Things that I am learning about. I am not really thinking of them as fun tools for personal use. As you can see, I've found other items for fun and posted them here!
