Enjoy this Photopeach created by third grade teacher Adrienne Visone!  Her students completed the “How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin Project. Can you count how many pumpkin stations they enjoyed? Everyone (myself included) had a magnificent time exploring language, science, art, and math skills- all with a pumpkin theme. (My favorite station was word making!)

Why create a poster with paper and glue when you can create an online version with videos, animation, and more!  Try glogster (the education version is located here).  Play the record player (lower right) and listen to the sound.

You can create up to 200 student accounts quickly.  I am seeking a class who would be interested in glogging- will it be your class?

I love technology- there is always another way to create something.  My image above was created in Word Mosaic.  Make a free account, enter the text, and then edit the image (font, size, color, etc).  It is part of ImageChef (they had several interesting applications).  Some were the same as www.bighugelabs.com but they did have some unique templates.

Unlike wordle, here you can save the work to your account and easily obtain the code to embed or email.
What would your students create?

FunPhotoBox  “claims a new photo effect every day”.  It has numerous options for photos, covers, and posters.  Once you’ve created the photos, it will save them online, download, or embed them to a blog.

Caution: While many of the effects are rated G- there are a few,  that in my late Grandmother’s words, would be considered “risqué”. This is a site for you- your students can share their photos and then you can create the images.
