I’ve never used Mashups before and really found it fascinating. I absolutely love the poster making app at Big Huge Labs. The two posters above are pictures of my son and daughter doing what they do best—running and pole vaulting. I think my students would enjoy making posters on this site, as well as making the trading cards. In the library, students could make trading cards for their favorite characters, and the librarian could display them on a bulletin board. Bookr would be an easy site for elementary students to create their own books; however, most schools block Flickr, so Bookr could not be utilized since it links to Flickr pictures. Does anyone know of another Web 2.0 app like Bookr, but where you can upload your own photos? Below is the book I made on Bookr. Fun!
Even though I am a single mom with two active teenagers and a full time 6th grade teacher, I am enjoying my second year as a graduate student at UHCL. Each class I take makes me more excited about becoming a librarian, which I hope to be by 2012 when a new middle school in my district will open. I’ve always been intrigued with technology and how to use it effectively in the classroom. I hope to use some of the “things” I will learn in “Library2Play” with my students this year. Let the adventure begin!
