For Thing Nine, we are asked to use generators.
Honestly, whenever I first started reading the discovery exercise I thought, generators? How could I possibly use or enjoy such a thing and what exactly is a generator doing in a classroom?
Well, all it took was a little exploring and playing around with this 2.0 tool for me to believe it is awesome! Fun graphics and pictures ALWAYS catch the eyes of children. Using funny smileys with signs reading off the class or stating an assignment can grab the attention of a student for him/her to read further. I played around with the smileys myself. I would leave to teach Social Studies so I made a graphic pertaining to this subject. I also created a 1957 Tennessee license plate reading "EDUCATOR". I simply got onto the links (listed below), played with generators, saved a screen shot, and uploaded the pictures I made on my blog. Generators are a tool that can be fun not only for the teachers but kids as well!
