Bubblr! A VERY Stupid strip...

Don't say I didn't warn you! :) I just wanted to try it out. I think this tool has a ton of potential. I will list the challenges below.



The most challenging part to creating this was figuring out how to find the pictures I wanted. I had an idea in my mind that was inspired by the first picture, but I had a lot of difficulty finding the pictures that I wanted to use. So, it is quite jumpy and barely makes sense because I didn't want to spend 3 hours on it (that would be VERY easy to do by the way). While discovering the best way to search for pictures in Flickr would be helpful, the difficulty required a great deal of critical thinking. I went back and changed my captions and choice of pictures several times since I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. Talk about HOTS! :)

This has great potential. We could always brainstorm as a class about what pictures we would need. I have already created a Flickr account, and Bubblr did offer the option of searching by tag AND user. If we create a photo script of sorts, then the kids could take the pictures and we could upload them to my Flickr account. This could be a great tool for reenacting the story of how their colonial family came to the new world. Or, they could retell a brush with death along the Oregon Trail! Ooohhh! I like that one! What a great culminating activity to help them identify the perils of the time period. Fun!

Just realized that you can't actually read my entertaining bubbles in this format. I know, I know... you are a glutton for punishment. If you are just dying to find out what I wrote, then just click on the link below.
