Thing#10-Image generators






This fun activity lead me to a multitude of really cool sites. Loved the comicstrip generator which would allow students to create their own cartoons with speech balloons. This could be used with first graders to highlight a lesson on using speech balloons in reading. Having done this with students and having them draw the cartoon themselves, there was frustration with some children about their inability to draw the characters the way they wanted. This tool would allow the students to be creative and have their finished product turn out the way they envisioned them. Definitely a small group activity with the youngest students but could be collaborated with computer lab teacher.
Could play here all day.

What a perfect cartoon for librarians! We never have enough time to read, do we?
