Here is a sample of a polyvore I created. I really enjoyed doing this and I can see how students could become very involved in creating their own polyvore. I'm not really sure if I would ever use this in class but I like the forum and it does make for a fun way to pass the time.
I like the idea of wordle as a pretty picture that alludes to a certain topic or content. I don't really see how it is all that useful in the classroom but it might be a fun cover page that students can make for a project or a way of synthesizing a unit. Creating a picture book is a cool idea for a project where you might ask students to write a story to go along with the pictures you've chosen for the book but I am not sold on using other peoples pictures from flickr to create the book. As a project I asked students to create a story using pictures or video to show their daily lives. Many students used powerpoint to show their story, some used prezi, a couple of students created stories on paper, I could have shown them the bookr site and that forum could be another option for presenting their project.
