This was such an interesting activity! I had so much fun looking at the Flickr Color Pickr, Comic Strip Generator, and the Custom Sign Generator. The image to the right is from the Comic Strip Generator, which I found easiest to use. I simply searched for a familiar, old favorite cartoon character, then selected my favorite frame from the samples listed, scrolled down and changed settings to customize the strip. It was a very straight forward experience. I really enjoyed looking at the Flickr Color Pickr, and spent some time wondering how the creator of the site managed to organize that task as computer code.
There are multiple educational implications for the sites I looked at. Certainly it helps a student be much more organized and creative in their classwork. Students can use these tools in their school projects, for everything from creating an fictional advertizing brochure, to adding interesting images to presentations. All of the activities I tried today were motivating, engaging, and fun, which also aids in the learning process.
