Thing 10 - Image Generators

I really enjoyed working with image generators. I like the fact that you can order what you created, share with others, and post your creations on Facebook and MySpace. I had already played with Big Huge Labs and Trading Card Maker. I focused my attention on some of the other ones that I did not know about. My favorites were Dumpr, ImageChef, Wordl, and the Comic Strip Generators

In Dumpr, I think the kids will have a blast using Amazing Goo. I really liked it. I also can see my students using Kid-Friendly Image Generators. It’s easy to use and cute. I probably won’t use it for my personal use but I will use it in my classroom.

In Wordl students can create various poems. I can see middle and high school students using Glogster just for fun and it can easily be integrated into the curriculum. The Comic Strip Generators can be used to teach students when to use quotation marks. My nieces already knew about some of these and upload to their MySpace. This means that teachers can implement them in the classroom easily.
