... is on tonight! So I better get onto my eighth thing so I can watch it tonight!
I used the spell it API, and it is so fun and I know I can use it in the classroom with vocabulary. I can have my students make one for each of their vocabulary words, and it will reinforce the spelling. And it would be a lot more fun than writing the word over and over again 40 times on notebook paper! I made one out of the word ABSQUATULATE - which literally means "to get up and squat somewhere else" That was my favorite vocabulary word in 10th grade. We were doing SAT prep and that was on our list.
I also used the jigsaw application. I have this great pic of an elephant from my trip to the zoo in March, so it was fun to use it finally! I think that having the students create puzzles out of pictures that illustrate certain topics, and have them assemble them could be a good way to introduce a unit. Or if I had my students pic a picture they think illustrates a topic it could also be used to assess their comprehension. And it would be a whole lot more fun than an essay!

I have to admit that I am completely and totally intrigued with your blog titles. I can't wait to see what you come up with next! :-) I love the idea of using these fun little images in newsleters and what not. Great idea!
