How fun is this! I've just spent about three hours wandering amongst the various tools and especially liked the Flickr Toy, Motivator. I can see using it as a way to get students to set a goal for themselves.
I also got myself totally lost in Magazine cover and finally settled on trying out something with one of my little Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamsters. While playing, I was thinking about how we've all asked kids to design a book cover. I think that the tool might be fun and useful for a task like that. It might also be neat to use it for book 
recommendations or even a book report.
recommendations or even a book report. I'm going to be working with a colleague on 4th grade writing skills - specifically how to write a book review. One of their tasks will be to create an image of the book or themselves as reviewer. These tools may be a lot of fun to investigate for this project.
It's a good thing that my husband has been busy in the kitchen while I "played." I can see how easily one might disappear into the many mashups available, never to be seen in person again!
