Tool 3: Image Generators & Mashups

Following,you will find one example of the use of "Bookr" and other example of the use of "Image Chef".

"Bookr": the creation of books could be a great resource to present or complement a mini lesson. Also, with a little practice, the students could be able to create brief stories or show examples of what they learned.

"Image Chef": This tool could be used for more specific purposes, bilingual activities or short remarks. There are many other tools associated to Image Chef, I am just showing one of them.

In general, graphic tools have a great visual impact on the students, however, one of the main points is that the students could be able to create their own digital products.

  1. I love your BOOKR project that you created. Last spring some of the classes that I worked with LOVED doing BOOKR.

    One idea that I would liek to share with you as a leader, is that it is helpful for people to learn to "hot link" the name of a website to the actual page. There are directions about how to do this in the help section of your blog. You can also look at 11 TOOLS - POST BOX OF A BLOG and see the tool button to click. It's not difficult, but can be slihtly tricky the first time. However, it is SOOO incredibly helpful to do this so that you can easily find the website that you linked to.

    Good Luck!
