Week 3 Thing 4 Image & Animation Generators

One of the cool things that you can do with an image generator is to create cool cover pages for your reports. There are a million things you can do including party invitations, announcements, personalized letterhead images. You are limited only by your own imagination. Using animation websites, you can make your own animated cartoons – excellent for reports as well as fun activities with your friends.

(10pts) Thing 4a: Explore Image Chef  (use your email address to register for a free account.) Click Browse full catalog to see all animations and other templates. Choose one you could use for any class assignment, unit of study, etc using an image generator. I made one for The Age of Enlightenment (below). (10pts)




Thing 4b: Take a look at a couple animation generators: Dvolver and GoAnimate (you'll need earphones to fully use these-we have some you can borrow or you can use your own)

Create either a Dvolver or GoAnimate on any topic you are learning about in any of your classes. Send a copy of it to yourself when you are done and copy and paste the embed code into your blog post (like I did here). Dvolver doesn't require you to create an account and looks like this: (10pts)



GoAnimate is a little more complicated but feel free to play around with it as well if you like.

Other fun sites like this are Make Beliefs Comix-Comic Generator

Thing 4c: Write in your blog about what kinds of things you could use an image or animation generators  for in school. Then write about some ways you could use them at home or in a club [like scouts, sports team, etc]. Don't forget to attach or embed an ImageChef image and an animation to this post. (10pts)
