Number Seven

Google - what a great tool. It is amazing what it offers. I set up a Google Alert for news on the Dallas Cowboys. I am looking forward to seeing what news I get. I set it for once a day. It was so quick and easy to do.
The other tool I played more with was iGoogle. I now have a customized home page. It was also quick and easy to do. I will set up a link as soon as I figure out how to do so. I need to spend some time on that part. I will update this entry at that time.
I am enjoying playing on the computer at work.

Number SIx

There are some very neat mashup sites. Mappr allows you to post photos to different continents. This would be a great exercise for students when they are learning landmarks. Get the photos and then the students must determine what the landmark is and where is belongs on the map.
Mosiac Maker allows you to make photo mosiacs. Allow students to take pictures of something that they are studying. They can create a mosiac about their subject to present to the rest of the class. These mosiacs can show different characteristics and information about the students subject.
