Thing #6 More Flickr Fun

Wow, to be honest, I am getting overwhelmed at all the possibilities of the utilities that we are being introduced to in this course.

The tool that I chose to play with the most from this list was from Big Huge Labs.com. It was a tool called "Map Maker." I was able to go t world map and then click on all the countries that I have been blessed to travel to. If, I then wanted to I could've copied and pasted the html code into a website for others to view.

I thought this could be a really cool tool for 10th grade geography students. As we learn about the world, they could create a "dream map" of place that they learn about and want to travel to in their life time. They could also use the mappr tool to create such a dream map. I could envision this being an end of the year final project.

Thanks again for opening my eyes to so many new possibilities about technology.

We are living in a blessed age to be able to do all of these things.

Thanks,
Elaine
