Thing #8

For thing #8, you were required to pick from the program flicker and create something. I decided to create a motivator. I am a Christian so I believe that God does all things and He is why I am where I am today in life. God has been the biggest and most important motivator in my life and I know that as people we tend to forget who created us and why we are where we are in life today. I consider myself blessed and I know that many others do as well so this is more of an encouragement and a message for those who do feel the way that I do. I do not mean to offend anyone in doing this. I know that not everyone has the same believes as me. In creating this, it was fun because I could really put my feelings and a little bit of me into it. I feel it is important to have some individualism in this. This would be a great idea if you wanted to send a message positive and even negative to some one. It could be used in a positive way within the classroom. 

Thing #7 Cont.

I chose this picture because it is so simple yet perfect and beautiful! It was fairly easy going through the images with no trouble and the content is so vast and huge that you could look at pictures for days and days. You have so many different categories and options that it is endless. I think that this is a wonderful site for students who want more diverse choices within doing certain projects and such. This gives them a way of exploring new ways of actually getting different images and things. This is a great source for a classroom such as an art class and other classes can incorporate these into their lessons and studies.

Thing #6

The finding that I found was Mango Language. Within this site, you can learn languages from German to Chinese! This site is amazing and I loved working with it. What makes it so great is that you pick a language of your choice and you go through a tutorial for it. The computer then talks to you as if you where in a classroom talking with a teacher. It is a wonderful tool if you are a language teacher and you wanted your students to have more of an in depth understanding of the language. You can learn interactively and you could even do group work within the classroom. It is a wonderful tool that all language speaking classroom should incorporate within their lessons.
