Thing #9

     I had a lot of fun with this thing. I really like how most of the sites you could upload your own images and add bubble quotes to them. The first image I created using the comic strip generator of the Dalmatians could be used if I had to teach math. I could put it up on my board for the day. Of course we would have to have some other fun "101 Dalmatian" activities to go along with that lesson. I really think it would help get the children into the lesson from the start.

     The next image I created using the happy face generator I would probably have up on the board or screen when the kids first came in so they would know what to do. This would give a more visual approach than simply writing it on the board. I could also use some of the other cute happy faces to create signs with the classroom rules to hang up around my classroom.   

     I really liked the site that I created my last image on called Image Chef. Instead of just added a quotation bubble to an image, I was actually able to create a sign. I could see myself using this sign (of course I would add my student's faces instead of a dog's) if we were learning about western times or reading a western story. I could put them up all over the classroom to make the students feel as if they were part of a western town. There were also so many other things I could use on that website including a word mosaic and a poetry blender. I am so glad I was able to find these sites, because I really doubt I would have trusted them if they had not been on the 23 things. Doing this project has made me even more excited to decorate a classroom and do special fun projects with my future students.
