After looking at the image tools, there are so many possibilities to use these in the classroom. Foldplay seems like a very cool place to try a variety of activities. I really like the idea of kaleidoscopes as part of the curriculum. As an English teacher, my mind always goes to literary elements, but the kaleidoscope could be used in about any setting. Math students could explain the steps of an equation using the kaleidoscope or the foldbook. I can also see lessons that would be applicable to other subjects explaining a definition, scientific process, or a country.
Image Chef is also loaded with ideas. I clicked on the meme maker and immediately thought of a colleague who uses these memes to review for the World History SOL. Students love memes and having them make some of their own as a way of reviewing information or explaining content to another student would help them utilize information in a new way. The signs and notes would also be a good idea for students to make early in the year explaining the classroom rules. Most schools have color printers and laminating machines to place them around the room. It would be a nice way for a librarian to introduce his or her students to the library rules.
