Thing #8 exploring mashups

I can use tools like the ones used to create these images as an activity to teach the Tennessee embedded technology and engineering standard for biology II.  I could also use the mosaic tool to create test or lecture questions, for example, have four different photos in a mosaic and have the students describe what is going on separately and/or collectively in the mosaic.  I can use mashup tools to create postcards to send to parents.  This would be a creative way to let parents know what their children are doing in class.  

I like sharing photos online because most of the photos I take are of the outdoors.  I like to share my enthusiasm for the natural world with others.  Some people are not as fortunate as I am to be able to get outside and see beautiful flowers, wild animals, and scenic sites.  And I would like to bring that to them.  Sharing photos online is one way that I can do that.   
Name this species.  (Hint: the common name is Yellow Adder's Tongue)

Give the species name for the plants in the upper left and lower right photos.  What might be the purpose of the hairs seen in the lower left and upper right photos?

    I also have a love for Biology. I was going to major in Biology but the classes will not fit in with my work schedule. Also I am not so good at Chemistry. I also can see how useful these would be for Biology. I am not much on the plants as I am the animals.

    I love your idea for the photos and using it to help students identify plants. I think that's a great way to integrate knowledge with pictures and I think students would enjoy it a lot! Good idea.
