Halloween Read via ImageChef.com

ImageChef Word Mosaic - ImageChef.com

Week 5 - #10, #11 & #12

#10 - I spent a lot of time working with the various online image generators. I found most of them confusing and not really easy to work with. However, I really enjoyed Image Chef. This site would be easy to use to make posters promoting various library activities. Also, it has great applications for classroom assignments. I especially liked the visual poetry and word mosaic applications. Both would work well for review assigments. I was also impressed with sketchpad.

#11 - I wanted to explore pb wiki, but was disappointed to learn that it isn't free. The site I liked the best was Donors Choose.org. What a great way to get things for your classroom. The hardest part of Donors Choose is getting the photos of the class. As a library teacher, I consider the whole school my "class", so what do I take a picture of?? I plan on adding a project to see what happens.

#12 - I haven't worked with Rollyo yet. I need to get back to school to get the lists of websites I want to add. I do see how Rollyo can replace with one link, the pages of pathfinders I have creadted over the years.
