#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.

PBwiki (now PBWorks) has a free option for educators. We use it all the time. Check it again. See the bottom of page at http://pbworks.com/academic.wiki -- page layout and such changes often on all web 2.0 tools, so it sometimes takes a little exploring. :)
ReplyDeleteFor example, 3 years ago, Image Chef didn't offer the wild range of fun images and applications as it does today. So, thanks for alerting me to the word mosaic applications.
Best wishes.
