I love comics (Iron Man 2 comes out this weekend) and enjoyed the Sign Generator, until I hit a bump in the road where to continue, I was asked for pay pal verify. I never got to complete anything, so I moved on to Image Chef. It was nice to access without signing up. It’s just like Wordle which needs the latest Java Script (I had to download onto all of the LMC computers). Surprisingly, at school no one had heard of Wordle or ImageChef when I introduced them. Consequently, I showed teachers how to incorporate them into their lessons. The kids (and teachers) love it!
There were many award winning webapps (see link) I’ve already used and written about. I decided to comment on my favorite, Google. What else can I say, I love them all! I even set up two accounts of Google everything for business and for my personal use. With regards to ELIB classes, so much of what I need to access, Google reader lets me view everything on one screen. Even my smart phone interfaces with Google!
The Travel IQ Challenge was fun (although I didn’t score too well – too slow), so I added it to the Blog. I plan to add it to my website later. Although I have already created a custom Google search, I must admit, I liked the ease of Rollyo, especially not being another thing to sign up for. I also like the fact that many rolls were already set up and I could access them. Time’s not my best friend these busy days, so that was sweet!

It is always a treat to introduce someone to wordle and how it can be used in education, not just for fun! Glad your teachers liked it and the other tools you were able to wow them with.
