Thing #10 - Using Online Image Generators







This was a fun little task. I tried several different online image generators and came up with a couple of favorites. The first one is the Glitterizer. This is like WordArt to the hundreth. There are all kinds of different flashy, artful, and glittered templates to choose from. I chose to use a line from a Garfield poster I have in my classroom. Read: It's the Bright Thing. Click on it to see it enlarged. I found this type of image generator at http://www.glitterizer.com/. This could be used in the classroom or library as help with sprucing the titles of student's projects.

The second favorite image generator of mine was http://www.bighugelabs.com/. This web site has all kinds of fun image generators included. I chose the motivator at http://bighugelabs.com/motivator.php. As you can see, here I made fun of my silly dancing picture through a motivational poster. Students can be taught how to use these for a creative outlet or art. These activities can also be used for a prewriting activity or an enhancement to a project in any content area.

  1. Rachel, I liked your idea of using poster sayings/phrases to Glitterize. I haven't tried this site yet, but now I want to. It looks like a lot of fun! It will also definitely catch students' attention!

  2. Rachel, I think the motivational poster would be a cool way to get kids to analyze photos and think outside the box, pardon the pun! I'd never seen or heard of the Glitterizer before, but wow it is sweet.
