Thing 13

As you can see at the side of my blog, I used the happy face generator and mosaic maker. Happy face generator was so easy! I'm thinking I could use it in my classroom to post student expectations, homework assignments, upcoming events, etc. Also it would be a fun addition to a classroom newsletter.

The mosaic maker was a little trickier, but not too bad. I used family photos to make a mosaic. I had to upload my photos to the mosaic maker. One thing I was disappointed with is that some of my photos wouldn't work because they were sideways. I suppose I needed to edit/rotate them on my computer's photo software and then upload. I was just hoping the mosaic maker had that editing ability, but it didn't. Anyway, I ended up changing out a few of the photos to get all of them facing the right direction. A couple of classroom uses for mosaic maker that I thought of were: at the beginning of the year the students could use it to tell about themselves using their own or flickr photos, or students could make a mosaic to go with a biography.

I also went to the spell with flickr sight and made one but could not get it to upload to my blog. I did get it to upload to my wiki so you can see it there.
