Thing #8

The assignment for Thing #8 was to use mash-up tools from Flickr to make fun new images.  I had no idea that these applications were available.  I used the Mosiac Maker using various tags.  For the most part I liked it very much but didn't like the inability to switch out specific pictures.  This is what I "made" when I used the tag "statehouses."

I used Spell with Flickr to create this:



For the most part I'm fairly open about sharing photos on social media.  Normally I'm just uploading pictures of my dogs, food, a funny sign or the like.  As a foster parent I am not allowed to post pictures of "my" kids.  Once they are officially mine my friends should prepare for a massive photo bomb of two years worth of photos.

For the classroom these tools could be very useful for adding interest to presentations, scrolling pictures on a smart board, and adding interesting content to a teacher's website.
