Thing #6

Mashups were very interesting. I spent way too much time looking around at all of the different applications. I really liked the retrievr where you drew an image in a certain color and it matched photos. I'm not sure how I could use it in my classroom or librarian but it was great fun to see what images would come up!

The Trading Card application would be good to use for promoting books. An application like Mappr would be beneficial in tracking places that have been read about or explored in the classroom or library. The Motivator could be used as a response to reading.

I did try to use Motivator but I think my old and slow desktop could not handle it. I will try again on another one.

I did notice that Big Huge Labs had a link for free educator things. I will definitely look into that too. It looked like you could let your students use products without them having to have a separate sign-in. Another project for another day.
