Image Generators are an easy way to manipulate photos, especially for classroom labs that don't have access to Photoshop. Using an image generator is also faster when you don't have the time to teach a photo editor, even when you have access.
I created the above phone photo using a picture of the Colleseum from our recent vacation (Yup, I've used our vacation in just about every exercise) in the program ImageChef. ImageChef was one of the easiest programs to use that I've tried for quite a while. What impressed me more was the ease of placing the photo directly into Blogger.
The library photo below was also created with Image Chef. I had some problems with the embedding code Image Chef provided. Blogger told me I had to add an end tag, which I had forgotten how to do. I figured it out. Generally, I don't like flashing graphics but having one now and then might be OK.
In HONOR of the return of Mulder and Scully, I used Comic Strip Generator to make an Alien cartoon. This program has many school applications: teaching satire, interpreting characters, analyzing history, mocking the principal (maybe not). Is school supposed to be this much fun?
