Thing # 9

I wasn't a big fan of any of the generators. I didn't like the layouts of the site, or the content they offered. I did like Image Chef the best of the four offered, the layout was the best and easiest to navigate. I messed around with the candy heart generator.


 

I can't see too many uses for this image generator in a classroom, outside of Valentine's day.

I did a Google search on image generators and found this page from Mashable. It lists 13 image generator sites that they recommended. I liked this page for the different options for they linked to, including Comic Life and Movie Poster.

Comic Life and Movie Poster I can see as being very useful in the classroom. Movie Poster would be a great way to introduce new topics in the class.

It would also create a visual reminder of lessons the class has already completed. 

Comic Life could be used in a similar way. It could be offered to students as another way to complete assigned projects -- some students may not be the best at writing essays, but they could still put together a very impressive comic book about the same assigned topic.
