At the moment I’m loving flickr and all the cool mashups that you can get to do with flickr.

Spell With Flickr
I was reading on jlietze’s blog about the teaching of spelling and Spell With Flickr is one site that would be really cool to use with the kids as a change up to spelling. It has a really simple interface where you type in your word then you are taken to a page that uses letter images from flickr to spell out the word. A cool feature of this website is that you can click on each individual letter to get a new one if you don’t like it or want to practice your spelling. A great tool for your visual learners!

Here’s my nickname as an example…

Very cool! And think of the graphic design potential it has, beyond learning to spell.

Thanks for sharing :)

Hey thanks for this one. I can see this being a fun way to learning new words as well as making “Word art” and hang it up in the classroom.
