This mosaic was created using Mosaic Maker and the photos that were used came from flickr, Blue - IMG_8988-blue,Yellow drops, Emerald Green - Graduated Colour Ear-Rings by Fiona Katherine McAllister, and Red Orange Pink Swirl Rose at Anderton Therapeutic Gardens, by Courtenay.

I had lots of fun using Jigsaw to make this puzzle. This photo was taken last summer when the classic car show was down in Nashville. I went through many photos to find just the right one to turn into a puzzle. I really enjoyed this activity since we are puzzle freaks at my house.

 I really enjoyed using the mosaic maker since it is the added touch of color that you can put around your classroom as photos. Another great use of it would be for students when they are learning about the color specturm or during a project. As far as the classroom aspect of these programs I could have lots of fun coming up with different worksheets and activities to use for learning. Take a picture of the solor system and turn it into a puzzle, so all the kids would have a fun and interactive way to learn the planets. Plus I think the parents would think highly of a teacher for taking the extra time to individualize a mosaic of their childs work at the end of the year. I have another two years of schooling and already am super excited about all the new ideas I have for my classroom. Happy reading and have fun exploring.
