OK - I had some fun with this one. I checked out all the different image generators and I really liked Dumpr, Comic Strip Generator, Happy Face Generator, Big Huge Labs, and Wordle. I have already discussed Wordle in a previous post so I will focus on the other three. I have included some samples of things I created in this post.
Dumpr

I created a rubiks cube on the water cycle and it's really awesome. Even though it is a virtual cube I can see the kids really getting into this. If I paid for the upgraded subscription I could print out high resolution graphics and buy blank rubik's cubes and stick my graphics on for a cool activity in the science lab.

I have used this application before and loved it. I have created a magazine cover on Texas caves and am interested in using Motivator to create posters for the hallways in our school using pictures that are relevant to the students, jigsaw to create interactive games for primary students with science and math concepts, and mosaic maker to introduce teachers to each other. I would have included my magazine cover, but it is saved on another computer. I will have to upload it later.

It was just a fun way to leave notes for kids or to remind them about science lab safety. I completed a fun one just because. I will definitely post some of these around my science lab next year.
Happy Face Generator

Making signs for the lab and notes for students with a smile are neat ways to use this application.
Dumpr is a favorite of mine aswell (partly due to the name, don't you think?) I love the one where you can squish and mush round a picture...like the funny mirrors at the carnival!
