FLICKR Continued

Flickr Fun Today.
Got up early to continue last night's fun project.
I now have a "Trading Card" of Myself and am making one for my daughter-in-law, she is also a teacher in Colorado.
By mistake clicked a wrong button, I learned how to create my own Magazine Cover.
(Another mistake that works - to add to my list that I have in the classroom...Its also a title of a book, and I'm the reading teacher)
I'm going to use the Magazine Cover as my Nameplate outside my classroom. Will look more exciting than my current one.
I wanted to try making my own trading cards, and magazine cover before assigning this to the students.. just to see how EASY it is...
The Kids used my printer so much this week I ran out of colored ink at school . I showed them how to make a Vocabulary card (roots of words) using the star form and placing ASTR and STELLAR inside of it with any words they could find with the root of the word.....then they click around and found they could make their own sports jersey, personizing it with their name and number. THey found baseball, basketball, tennis themes...and made some for themselves and with my suggestion some for their coaches.

SO now OUT OF INK..... but kids loving it.
Plan to ask a volunteer organization to donate some ink... this is getting expensive when the school won't pop for it.

Schools want us to promote technology but will not support their teachers with the needed supplies!!!
