This is a "puzzle" I made from a photo of me and Eddie. While it looks cool, I'm not sure how/why I would ever use tools like this in the classroom. And having students use these tools (for I'm not sure what...a project?) would only create a lot of wasted time while they played with all of the features.
On a different note, today on NPR, there was an interview with a professor who used clickers during lectures to make sure his class of 100 understand the concepts he presents. In such a larger setting, clickers would be great but I have 14-16 students and I can't imagine not being able to gauge their level of understanding. However, the interviewer made a good point. Students are often required to "power down" when they are in the classroom. While I am always interested in more and better ways to incorporate technology (my favorite is using webquests), thus far, I have not found many of the "things" applicable to my classroom.
