ImageSpike in the Language Classroom

6/26/2012

After discovering ImageSpike yesterday, I started wondering how its use could be expanded across disciplines: social studies, science, math, etc.  It dawned on me that IamgeSpike would be an exceptional tool for language studies.  namely, it could be used to construct maps, charts, or other visuals that incorporate vocabulary study.  I imagine having Spanish students work with technology to create a "spiked" image, labeling items in an image in Spanish (see image below).  These images could then become student study tools for review and practice.  The same concept could be applied to anything that can be labelled: the names of states, the parts of a cell... you could even create an image of math problems and then "spike" in the answers.  ImageSpike is quickly becoming one of my favorite tools for the upcoming school year.  Also, I failed to mention in my last post that ImageSpike gives you embed code to post on your own website/blog/e-portfolio.

Hello,
I work for onlinemastersineducation.org , a website catering to current and prospective educators. Through our own research, evaluating factors such as peer recommendations, web presence, and content quality, we’re developing a list of useful websites for educators entitled Teaching Teachers: 100 Best Web Resources for Educators.

We are pleased to inform you that we have nominated Me and My Laptop for inclusion on our list!

Should you be featured on the final list, we’ll provide you with a badge to display on your website, and to promote your inclusion on your social media accounts.

Once the list is published, we’ll be reaching out to other education bloggers and websites to ensure maximum recognition for your site.

Additionally, if you wish to nominate another education blog or website that you feel is worthy of a spot on our list, please let us know. We're still in the review and nomination stage.

Best,
Lauren
