I really enjoyed playing with the image generators. I created a couple posted on my bog from http://www.imagechef.com/ . I picked out the image I wanted to play with--my first was a Houston license plate and then created my text and then it even gave me choices for what I wanted to do with it. I chose to post it to my blog. My second one was a picture of a fortune cookie being opened and my text of course created the fortune which I again posted to my blog.
I teach Kinder and I think it would be fun take pictures of my students and let them create a trading cardof what or who they would like to be when they grow up.(I would assisst in writing the text) or letting them put themselves on the front of a magazine cover with a positive title. I think it could be a great self image booster to see themselves in that way.
I LOVED Thing # 10 and will definitely be playing again in the future!

I can see how making your own license plate and fortune cookie would be fun. Just another added step for students to use in creating projects! Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea! Linking trading cards to future careers is a great learning tool for the kindergartners. I really didn't know if they had the skills to create this, never having taught kids that young. But I love the idea of getting younger kids to think about future careers. I think, if they have a career goal, they are more likely to see the value of school as a tool to help reach their goal. Kids without goals usually don't do as well in school as those with a goal firmly in mind.
