Explorations 6 - Generators

These Generators are quite interesting. I had fun trying many of them out. I think it would be fun to generate i.d. badges for students or use PhotoFunia to make pictures for students to include when creating projects in school. Privacy issues must be addressed, however. It would be important to make sure that it is okay to put digital photos of the kids onto the computer before starting to manipulate them. Also, I really liked word clouds!

These sites, like many of the sites I've been experimenting with, are causing me to grow frustrated with my lack of knowledge regarding my own photographs on my computer. I guess I need to get some lessons from one of my teen-agers about where my pictures are on the computer and how I access them because whenever I try to use them, I only end up able to view a few of them rather than the many that I know are on here somewhere. This is not surprising. I have had a very difficult time switching to digital photography, as a general rule. For some reason, it is not coming easy for me at all.

Hi, Rhonda -- I like Picasa to manage my photos for me. You can download it for free at http://picasa.google.com . It's available on our BPS computers for you, too, and automatically stores photos into your H drive for automatic backups. I have been using Photofunia all day for some conference materials I am working on, and I am a huge Wordle fan! KF
