Sunday night-Tool #3

It seems that electronically uploading, posting, e-mailing, sharing, labeling and sorting pictures has become a world-wide past time. Companies that make photographic film (or cameras that use it) have been either move to the electronic media or disappearing.

For my first image generator I used from Big Huge Labs (http://bighugelabs.com/) the
Map Maker program, showing the 10 states that the 1st graders are supposed to identify.



A teacher can generate several cards(maps with one or more states highlighted)for the students to identify or list the states.

My second choice was a small slide show of landforms, for the students to watch. In the blog it would look something like this:





To access the page independently, showing the pictures bigger, so you can actually read the labels, you can follow this link:

Looking for pictures of the landforms was kind of slow, specially since if you look for "hill", you'll get pictures of planes and cars first (from Flickr images). If you want to use your own pictures, I guess you'll have to upload them to Flickr first.

  1. There is also a really nice website where you can download pictures the only problem i see is that they will have printed the reference as a small water print on them. Check it out www.gettyimages.com

  2. You should be able to use your own pictures if you've uploaded them onto your laptop.
