Today I thought I would show you some image generators. These sites let you create a customized image to promote your blog or show something fun or funny. All the usual rules of safe conduct apply here, however, you are free to use these images without using image citations. They are copyright free and there for people to use.
I got this idea from another teacher and friend, Mrs. Tolisano, who also blogs with her students. Here is something she told her students that I also want my students to remember:
All of these image generators are free for you to use. There will be advertisement on these pages. Learn to ignore them. DON’T click on any of them, no matter how appealing they seem or how much they say “Click me, Click me!”
Try one or more of these:
Redkid.net make signs, fortune cookies, all kinds of fun stuff here.
GlassGiant.com Make snowglobes, “glitters,” personalized chocolate bars, boats and stadium signs just to name a few.
Have fun. I am excited to see your creations!

I also went to Mrs T.’s blog and found out some interesting links. My class is blogging for the first time this year at http://wyatt67.edublogs.org Would it be OK for me to include your blog on our blogroll for my students to come and visit and make comments with your students?

These image generator sites look really interesting. A great idea to allow students to use their creativity. Isn’t the blogging world wonderful for picking up new ideas and learning more about what others are doing in their classrooms? Thanks for the links.

Hi!
A couple other sites to really rev things up…
Animoto is a site that will create a movie with the images (or movie clips) you upload…then you can embed that in your blog.
http://animoto.com/
Jumpcut is another on-line movie-creation site. You have more control in the design of this one. You can still embed it in your blog as well.
http://www.jumpcut.com/
And better yet, both allow you to make comments on the movies others have made!
Great job!
Adam
