Have you ever seen those fake church signs? With image generators, you can make images that say whatever you want, like this:
or this:
This week, you will use image generators to put your own text into images. There are several websites where you can accomplish this. Some of them are listed below:
FD Toys
Image Chef

Big Huge Labs
There are a bunch more listed here.

I've played around with TypoGenerator before, since before I became a librarian. I used to work for the big international insurance company everyone loves to hate these days, and playing with web applications helped pass the time on night shift; We also used Wikipedia as a reference resource on the job for one reason and one reason only: it was FREE and the company didn't have to pay for it.
I posted a wordle done rather quickly on the fly. One thing I now know for sure is that just because you can create many images generated the creator needs to do so with care. Otherwise one can have a mishmash of busy, eye hurting nonsense that seems to have no rime or reason. I wonder if those efforts turn off/vs. turn on those who read or look at our 2.0 efforts.
If you're interested in innovative Web 2.0 learning tools, I invite you to check out Pixton - an award-winning website where you create comics without having to draw.
Pixton is a new kind of comic where you can design every aspect of your character, rotate all of the body parts and even turn it 360 degrees! The ability to create a 3-panel strip or a 12-row epic makes it a fun digital storytelling tool for all.
Email, post to blog or remix comics and add your own twist! Read comics in over 40 languages, with our automatic translation by Google. Language filters, privacy settings, and flagging mechanisms help preserve a safe online environment. Sign-up is free!
