Week #5 Thing 10, 11 and 12

10- I enjoyed all of the online generators. I made a magazine cover and a comic strip for a poster in my library based on a quote from the Library of Congress about works cited. I could think of several curriculum connections. We are working on Colorado biographies with the 4th grade and I think it might be great to have the final project be making a magazine cover for the Colorado person assigned to each student. I liked the poetry feature in Image Chef as we are trying to add more poetry experiences for our students and this would be a fun way to draw them into writing a poem or even copying an existing poem and playing with the layout. You could be lost for days in the online generators.
11- The Web 2.0 Awards are a wonderful resource for many things. I looked into the podcasting sites and tried to upload some music into my blog but had some trouble with the upload. I spent most of my time reading in Library Thing and could see using it to suggest where to go next with reading suggestions based on what you have previously read.
12- I spent quite a bit of time in Rollyo. I made an account and made a search engine in my blog. I can see that you could customize a search engine for your classroom based just on sites that you would like your students to access. I especially liked the site based on SJ Wired and added it to my blog. I wish I had more time!!!
