Thing #9



custom image



The first image I created was the top one.  I went to imagegenerator.com and used the application "TXT2PIC" which turns phrases into pictures.  It was so easy to use.  All I had to do was simply text the word or phrase I wanted to use into the text box and pick out the style of writing I wanted that text displayed with and it created it for me.  It is a really neat site.  There is so much that can be done on it.  You can upload a picture of yourself and pick a border from the site and it will apply it your picture.  You can also upload a picture of yourself and it will put your face on a body of your choosing.  You can have a lot of fun with this site.    My other favortie site was Imagechef.com.  It had a variety of things to do on it as well.  On the second image above, i used an application that lets you put your name or text of your choice onto a jersey.  You could choose from a variety of colors and jersey types.  I chose to put my name and favorite number on the jersey.  It was a really cool site as well. 

These sites would be great for classrooms, schools, and libraries.  You could use one of the sites that lets you type your message into a sign held by a cartoon or person of your choice to place in hallways or around the classroom as a friendly reminder to students of rules or things to remember.  Fun animations could be used in powerpoints for lectures.  The kids could also play around on these sites to make themselves name-tags or something like that.  I will definitely be using sites like these in my classroom.
