Thing #10





1. No longer will Microsoft clip art be the main source of my graphics for the weekly newsletter I send to the staff. I had fun with all of the Discovery Resources as well as ones I found along the way. The easiest to use was Comic Strip Generator. Here are two I did with this link: http://www.comicstripgenerator.com/











2-3. I also loved Custom Sign Generator as it led me to Glitter text, then to Warning Sign generator. My high school students like this sort of graphic. Here is the link to the warning sign generator: http://www.dangersigngenerator.com/











This map marking Iran and and Afghanistan comes from Big Huge Labs' Map maker: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/map.php

I was able to save all of these images in a folder I have on my desktop then import them into my blog--very easy.
4. In addition to using these image generators in my newsletters, I will share these sites with staff and students, who will be able to use these for their own projects. I think the Big-Huge Labs will be very helpful for their many projects.

You are so right about using our new knowledge of image generators and using them for our newsletters and such. I have been in the habit of going to Microsoft for free clip art, but you reminded me that I now have many alternatives! Thank you.

I liked the image you posted for the wiki thing. Thank you for telling us the source.

Many more image/sign generators @ http://www.ImageGenerator.org (make buttons, banners, sigs, avatars, comics, logos, gags, e-cards, etc)
