The Mosaic I made has been completed! It was finished two days ago and I think it looks great. I found that it works better if you follow the sites suggestion and use the maximum amount of pictures the system will let you have. Also even though it looks awesome it took a long time to make so maybe it could be incorporated into a final end of the quarter/semester/year project to give students plenty of time for their images to be processed and end product to be produced. Below is another image I did finished at the same time and it as you can see would have looked better with more images, proving in this case less is not more.
Web 2.0 Tools can be used in the classroom to enhance student learning and motivation. These tools can be used to make learning more meaningful and allow for diversity in instruction and assessment. Another Web 2.0 tool besides Voki that can be used in the classroom is Mosaickr.com. This can be used for visuals or for student projects. An example would be they could take a historical figures image and find other images that are associated or apart of that persons life, this could also be done for countries in geography classes. For more ideas on how to use it in the classroom click here. An example of one that I made will be coming soon, it takes time for the images to be completed, so students should plan ahead if this tool is going to be utilized. The last web 2.0 tool this post will be looking at is Prezi. Prezi is an alternative to powerpoint. The account is free and it has a variety of templates to choose from. While powerpoint moves from one slide to the next, prezi is different in that it moves across the screen. For more information on prezi in the classroom click here. More Web 2.0 Tools and information on them are available at Web 2.0 Guru. Update: 12/14
