Once again, I found that hours had passed and I had added too many websites to my favorites to include in my blog. There were websites to add countless creative customized images to websites, blogs, and emails. The 'Dummies' bookcover was one of my favorites. Creating the book covers can be found at http://dummies.book.cover.txt2pic.com/. Another site I enjoy is the Confucius signs that can be found at http://buy4cheap.brinkster.net/signs/confucius/quotes.asp. I also found a sight that uses 'Clippy', the paper clip icon used in MS Word. These websites and more can be found at http://www.imagegenerator.org/.
I thought of one application for students - using one of the sign or book cover generators to creatge a novel way to illustrate a rule or definition. Students could put these together in an Activboard flipchart or Powerpoint slideshow.
Every new Thing seems to be more fun than the last!
