In the same post in which you placed your creation, briefly describe your experience completing Thing 8. Which of these tools intrigues you and why? Was it easy, frustrating, time-consuming, fun? Share some of your ideas for using the images you can create.


This was fun, but time-consuming. I liked the flickr tools -- spelling, color generator, and mosaics. I couldn't find a way to copy any of these to some of the ideas in the generators that I wanted to try. That was frustrating. I think that some of this might be applicable in the classroom, definitely. However, I have so much content to teach and i don't even have enough time as it is to complete the basics. Students would love having lab time to play around with these applications, but I fear they'd putz with color and font and other layout techniques that they'd never spend the time they need to spend on the content of the project, which is where the real time should be spent.
