Image Tools
I looked at the image editing tools available on several different sites: BigHugeLabs, Image Chef, Foldplay, Tuxpi, and Dumpr. I wasn't really impressed with much on these sites. Most of them seemed to gimmicky and I don't see much use for them in the classroom other than giving students a way to "mess with" pictures. The one site that I did like was Big Huge Labs. They have several projects that students can use to create maps, a newspaper, posters, magazine covers, and other projects. Foldplay has tools that can be used to make fold books, puzzles, or other projects that could be used in the classroom. Image Chef seemed like a way for students to make their own memes, which has limited use in the classroom. I couldn't really find anything of value in Tuxpi or Dumpr, as they seem to only offer photo effects.

Right down to business in your classroom then! Are you a math/science person or a process Social studies type? How about using some of these tools for motivation? And Language Arts always needs a way to connect visual with words so students will "get the picture." Teachers are asked to connect reading to all the subject areas now.
