Thing 6

These tasks on imaging were linked together well. I had originally thought it was all one task and then had to break my post apart and divide it into tasks 5 and 6. There are so many great sites to use with graphics! I can't wait to share the ideas with my colleagues and students. Image Chef and trading cards were fun to use. Using the Image Chef was my favorite. The variety of templates and frames that could be used were awesome. The site was user friendly and I was able to copy and paste the code right into my blog. The Image Chef also had the option of exporting into a variety of blogs. The Big Huge Labs site was also interesting. I could see students really enjoying the trading cards. I liked all of the options that could be used with the background and icons. The trading cards could be used to create projects on many topics...natural disaster, animal, state, country, or history projects - without having to use students photos. This task was cool!
