Note: Be sure to include a link to the image generator(s) you used, so other participants can discover it too.
--In your post, be sure to include ways you might use these image generators in the library, classroom or personally.
I found that making the generated signs were too time consuming and there was not enough generators that would be good in a classroom. I feel that I could make a sign using Microsoft Word and Clip Art easier and they would be exactly what I'm looking for.
During my discovery, I created a "Clean up the crayons" sign. If I were to use a sign generator I would use it to make awards or signs to place around the room to remind students of the rules. Again I really prefer the templates and Clip Art selection of Microsoft Word though.
Below is the sign I created. For this all I had to do was enter the text, choose the size, and position it where I wanted. Positioning it in the middle is very difficult so you may have to do trial and error before it looks centered.

Maybe in my own classroom I'll find a use for a sign generator, but for this particular assignment I found it difficult to think of a use for the options that the generators gave me.
I did, however, enjoy imagechef.com They have many frames and all you have to do is upload a photo from your computer or from your facebook. I played around with several of the frames and below is what I created.

Again I can't find many reasons to use imagechef in the classroom because all it does it create cool backgrounds for your portrait. Maybe I could use this for a fun activity, but I don't see this as an important part of my classroom.
