Online Image Generator: I enjoyed working on this "Thing!" Wordle and Glogster are popular online image generators with my students. My older son gave me some pointers on how to make the words in various sizes and using different layouts and colors while I was playing on Wordle. Students like to use Wordle for their vocabulary homework assignments by including the vocabulary word, definition, synonyms, antonyms, and situations in which one would use the vocabulary word. Glogster can be used for a variety of assignments: vocabulary reviews, chapter reviews, and book reviews. I thought the Comic Strip Generator was pretty cool. I tried to save my Captain Jack Sparrow comic strip, but somehow I ended up saving the entire page instead of the comic strip image. Go figure. (I am using a MacBook Pro without a mouse, so I couldn't right click on the image to save it.) Comic Strip Generator can be used by students to post vocabulary words in context or post favorite character quotes. The one I will share with you is my trading card that I created on Trading Card Maker. Students, teachers, and librarians can create trading cards to introduce themselves at the beginning of a new school year. It can also be used for character analysis or chapter summaries for a novel unit. I created a trading card of my two labs. Check it out!
FYI...right click can be done on a MAC by clicking the Control key (not command key) and the trackpad...choice box should pop up

ReplyDeleteMany more image generators on http://www.ImageGenerator.org (over 5,000 img gens).
Like the idea of using trading cards the first day of school (if there were enough computers in the room).
ReplyDeleteVaughn--I followed your advice on how to save an image on MAC, but then I had trouble posting it on my blog. However, I was able to use that image as my profile pic when I want to follow other people's blogs.
