The first image generator I tried was WordSift. This is a pretty neat tool but I think it might be too advanced to use with my preschool students. Next I tried Wordle, and created a word cloud of words that begin with the letter 'F' since this is the letter my students will be learning about for the next two weeks. I like this tool since I can create word collages and print them out. I could post these collages in the writing center in my classroom. I like the idea of giving my kids more sight words, especially ones they wouldn't ordinarily see, hear, or use.
I used Glogster this summer in my technology class at HBU and created a poster as a new way to present a chapter summary. Here is the poster I made! I think this would be a great way to introduce myself to my class at the beginning of the year. The kids would love the colors and presentation.
In college I used Animoto to create a video for my art class. I am sure Animoto has improved over the years, but when I used it I found it frustrating and difficult to work with, so I avoided it for this assignment.
Flipsnack looks amazing! I would definitely use this at work and can't wait to try it out.
Allie, it would be awesome if you embed directly your Glogster result in this blog. I think you can use embedded HTML code that they produce.
