Thing 8

When I started working on the mashups, I wanted to use the Mosaic Maker, and spell my last name.  However, for some reason I could never get it to display the image for "N", so I went to the Big Huge Labs and came across the mashup Bead Art.  I thought it was interesting and created the following image of my daughter Ella.  I think the image looks much better in the smaller version than larger size I have below.  You can make out more detail in the smaller image.

I think it is a neat mashup, but I am not really sure how to integrate it into the classroom.  I played around with the different settings, and think I might be able to take some images and create backgrounds for lecture presentations.  It would be something different if I could get it to work.

In regards to sharing images online, obviously I do not have that big of an issue with it.  I share photos on Facebook with my family all the time.  I do believe that you must be careful in the images that you choose to share, because once you post them on the internet, they are there for anyone to find.
