Thing #8




For this post I chose to do a mosaic with pictures I found from Flickr using Mosaic Maker.  I chose pictures of the beach because it is one of my favorite places in the whole world and right now I have a really bad case of beach fever!  

I think the Mosaic Maker would be an awesome tool to use in a classroom setting.  Teachers could use it to make a mosaic of the students in their class to post on their blog.  It could be used as a learning tool to show students various examples of a subject.  For example, for my unit plan I am doing for another class, my topic is nouns.  I could make a separate mosaic for common/proper and singular/plural nouns and use as a handout for my students to give them examples of each category.  They could use it to take home and study with.  I think there could be many helpful uses for this site in a classroom setting and it's so easy and fun to play around with.
