Thing #10

WOW! I spent way too much time playing with these. I used image chef (www.imagechef.com) for my self portrait. But what I really spend a lot of time with was Glogster (www.glogster.com) and wordle (www.wordle.net). Those were just fantastic! I think of items on image chef (cartoon cell, trading card, etc) as a single media tool. But, on Gloster you've got the ability to use multimedia (pics, video, audio). It was amazing to see what people have done. I can see this as a fantastic tool to use with students as an ongoing book report/reader response. Wordle was a single media tool, but it was just fun. I can see that working well also for younger students and character's traits.
