Things # 6 & 7 Cool Google Tools

I combined #6 and #7 and came up with a trading card and posted it on Google Presentation. Whew! I'm wondering if I am ever going to complete the 23 things.

Thing #6 (mashups, etc...)

What cool ideas! I can think of many classroom applications for several of these tools. In fact, today I'm covering for a geography teacher who is out today (middle school summer school), and her students are researching different physical features found in Africa. I thought it would be interesting for the students to create a tour guide badge using photos from Flickr. Unfortunately, we couldn't access Flickr, because SBISD has a new web page filter which blocks the site.

Thing #5 (Flickr)

I found the perfect photo which shows where I would like to be right now!
This actually looks like a place in which I relaxed last summer in El Salvador. I sure could stand to be there relaxing on the beach.
