Online image generators do not produce electricity...

Can you imagine how great it would be if these things could power America? Well, scratch that dream, because they can't. Oh well...at least they may be useful in the classroom. This is a good way to create images for interactive lessons, and you can combine elements. My map of the states I've had the pleasure of visiting is a great example...woohoo.

More Flickr...the grand ol' "Color Pickr"

This is a pretty cool tool associated with the flickr website. It allows you to pick a color from a palette and then shows an assortment of images that are of that color. Then you can pick images out from that conglomeration...sweet, huh?

Feed my RSS

So these feeds are pretty cool. They allow a user to subscribe to any other user's blog posts/comments, etc. A practical classroom use for RSS feeds could be creating a class blog with important announcements, powerpoints, and any other information discussed in class. Students would be able to subscribe and be immediately notified of new updates.
