Thing #6

These tools can be hard to integrate into a math classroom. However, I do like the motivational poster maker that is available through big huge labs. I think that this application can be adjusted to make "motivational" math posters over different math ideas that students have trouble with. Students often learn best when it comes from other people. I can also see using the trading card maker to help my students with their conics project that I do every year. In the past, I've had students do the project with images found on the web. Using flickr to use copyright friendly images and then using those to make trading cards would be an interesting twist on the project.
