This was fun and made me wish we had more computers, but at least we now have two mobile labs. This is what I'd do with these fun programs:
MM-I'd finally have a reason to tempt my math teachers to come to the library for a hands-on learning session. Then they'd jump to get the mobile labs in their own classrooms. This is a fun way to learn and practice the various h.s. math components and not something they get to do much online. This is my favorite of all of these.
Kidz Zone-I would like to see the parts that enable two different subject areas to collaborate. I also liked the links to new educational materials that would be just for the teachers.
Google Lit and History- creating and publishing one of these trips including the links to add in-depth information about either a historical event for the history classes, or one of the novels or plays for ELA would be a major coup for any of our classes. Additionally, adding a "what if...?" dimension would really address the quadrant D thinking we are supposed to be reaching. This would be another opportunity to engage in multi-class cooperation and learning.
Word Sift- I like this, but I think you'd have to really guard against too many field trips to the images. I do think it would be a fun way to get students to get immediate feedback and prompting on better writing.
