Response to Digital Goonies

I was pleasantly surprised to see the tree octopus in one of the Digital Goonies' recent postings (I wrote a post about the tree octopus earlier.) I had heard about this Web site more than a year ago, so I thought it was old news, but I guess not. Jim mentioned similar activities to those that I listed when using a Web site like that. He also listed others that are pretty much the same idea... hoaxes. I'd really like to use these one day if I have an opportunity to teach media literacy.

I also found the posting on dialmycalls.com to be useful. It would be great if something happened last minute and I had to contact all of my students' families all at once, I could make a recording and send it to all of them. How easy and practical!

I also found superlame.com to be a fun site for making creative projects. This site helps the user to make speech bubbles and such to add to their own photos.
