Image by Cool Text: Logo and Button Generator - Create Your Own Logo I really like making generators, which i had no idea that a tool as such was invented. It was very simple to create a generator after finding the site to use. This a great idea to see what a banner would turn out. This would help in the classroom if you assigned students to create a logo and bring them to class. This could even be used in the classroom, if the teacher is talking about a subject and the students make a meaning by using generator site to tell and create a visual of what he or she feels it means.

Thing 8: Flickr in the classroom

In my opinion i do not feel that Flickr along would be useful in the classroom but there could be some use for Flick mashups. Educators can see students work on there own particular websites especially in the art field, were individuals can post photos of there work. I really do not feel that Flickr in my particular area would help me as a educator right off.

Thing 7:Flickr

 This tool that  I'm about to mention really is helpful and i had no idea what it was and how to use it until exploring the site. Flickr is a convenient tool that allows individuals to store photos and organize them as well. The Picture that i chose was very colorful and well designed. I loved the fact that a tag led me directly to the picture section that i wanted. Having tags really does help to in finding the picture, but one suggestion in choosing a tag  the individual should pick something that helps to reflect the actual photo.

Thing 6: 2.0 Tool

Pandora is a music station that allows the individual to select his or her type of music.One advantage of Pandora is that the listener decides if he or she would like to listen to a particular song or to dislike it by clicking a thumb down symbol. This allow the radio company not only to skip the song that is disliked but also to not select songs to play that are similar in style to the disliked song. Other advantages if an individual has a Smartphone they are able to download a App and listen to the station and the radio is FREE. Some disadvantages of using Pandora is when you skip too many song the radio station would not allow  the individual to skip any more up to 6 skips. Another disadvantage in using Pandora is when playing the radio stations there are many ads , which stops the flow of the music station.
