Wow, I can't believe I have been working on this all day. I went to just get a few "things" done in order to catch up....and here it is 4 hours later!
Thing 8 was interesting. I was able to figure out how to get my "banner" made of individual letters on Flikr. I still am unclear as to how to get the size right the first time and I need more instruction as to how to use paint. While it was interesting, I have yet to figure out how using this idea could help me in my teaching.
Big Labs was fun. I could see all kinds of possibilities with this. The "trading cards" will be the application I use the most in my classroom. I could use this in drama and in science. In drama, students can take pictures of themselves showing different emotions. I could assign a different emotion to each student. They then have to write a little about it. In science, the ideas are endless. Students could do "famoud scientists", find examples of things, take pictures of them doing something at home that we are studying... I will have to really think about how I could use this one.
The "motivational" poster could come in handy as well. In drama, students could do "public service announcement" posters. (be respectful, don't run,..) In science, students could explain some "big" picture item. (Matter; anything that takes up space and has mass)
I am sure I could think of other things- but again, the issues come down to time and equitable access to the technology.
