Thing 6 --

Image Chef is so fast and easy to use. It will be interesting to find out if this or the trading card tool are blocked at school. I really could see using both of these tools for many different promotional items. It would be great to use the trading card tool at the beginning of the year to pass out to staff and students with the library's staff on them as bookmarks. So fun!
Even as a small banner, it looks like it takes up most of the width of the page.
I could also waste a lot of time on these tools. :)
Kids would have a lot of fun with ToonDoos. I'm not sure I'm that creative.

Thing 5 -- more Flicker


I used the color picture to find a photo. Wow! How easy . . . I could really see the use of this in the classroom, but I am guessing Flicker is blocked. I suppose there is no control of what pictures may come up.
Spell with Flicker was also very neat. Can definitely see using this again. It would be fun to use these tools to make some promotional items for my media centers -- posters, bookmarks, etc. I didn't really figure out how to save the images from this site.
If a person was really into photography, I could see sharing the photos online for others to use. Though I am still not comfortable sharing personal photos.
