Thing #10

>In addition to the four image generators listed in the discovery resources, I explored several other image generators. Imagegenerator.net only had eight different images to select from but it was fun looking at the many different ways the images were interpreted. JellyMuffin.com has an assortment of layouts, graphics, and icons that can be used in different formats such as web pages, blogs and MySpace. Imagenerator.org has 47 different categories and hundreds of images to choose from. There are 2,500 different avatars to select from at this site. There are so many image generators and they are so easy to use that you are only limited by your own creativity.


These images could be used effectively in presentations for adults or students. They are fun and they grab your attention immediately. They can be used on the library web page to promote special events. I think that students would enjoy creating their own images. It would be a fun way to have students summarize information. Each student or group of students could summarize a paragraph and when you put the summaries together you would have a comic strip of the selected text. It could also be used for character analysis, main idea and many other things.
