Thing # 10

I discovered there's a lot of tools out there to be creative. I liked Wordle; it takes a different approach at being creative with words. I can see my students using it as a fun activity after writing a story or in their journal. Here is the link to what I created with the posting I did for Thing #9, I named it "Blogging thoughts"

I also liked Dumpr, as the site says: "Dumpr is where you create marvellous photos to share with your friends" - and it certainly is! Some of the effects are for "Pro members only" and you have to pay for, but the free ones are just as good. This is what I created with one of the pictures I found on Flickr.

Something else that I really liked was Glogster. It is a combination of blog and poster to "express yourself". You can embed pictures and music and create it however you want. I can see a lot of teenagers doing that, and it can work for younger children too. They can publish their final draft for a short story or writing project. I think they will love it!
