Thing 6 Mashups

Wow this stuff is great. I know what I'll be doing this summer. I like the Flickr Color Pickr. It was a bit hit or miss to find uncopyrighted photos though.
I like mappr. I think this would be a great tool to use with geography lessons. I could see doing fairy tales or folk tales and then having students mapping them. Check out 14 lenses (I'm a guest photographer) http://14lenses.blogspot.com/ . There is a map option where you can see on the globe where many of the photos have been taken.

The trading cards are an awesome idea. I could see making a trading card for a book as a mini review or shelf talker. I am going to do this next year with my 6th graders.

Sunset

Sunset from my balcony. It was a lovely day today. It was a lazy day--curled up in my big chair with a delicious book that I devoured in one sitting. Now the sun is setting again and I must do something constructive with the rest of my evening ...or perhaps I'll just start a new book.
