Thing 9 (Online Image Generators)

After the first example that I demonstrate on the board, my students ALWAYS ask, "are the problems going to get harder"?  I mean, it happens every day, without fail.  So, just maybe, if this is posted in my classroom, I can just point to it from time to time.  By the way, in High School, love always gets complicated.

I try to tell my students that learning Geometry is not all about learning about triangles, polygons, circles, and such, but also about using your brain to think and to solve problems.  Problem solving is a tool you will use all your life, even if you don't ever use Pythagorean's Theorem.  And yes, I have actually used it in my life, a time or two.

Creating these images was a very simple process, going to one of many links available on the Web.  Probably the hardest part is coming up with something clever to put on your image.  If your creativity is a little lacking, like me, then the Web is your friend to find sayings, quotes, jokes related to the subject you want in your image.  Or, as in my second example, it may just me a message you want to convey to your students about classroom behavior, rules, or upcoming assignments.  I think I will use these for classroom displays and additions to lesson presentations.  Just something different to capture the attention of your students.  Anyway, once you have the website that you want, both just required you to fill in the blanks, along with some style options, then hit the create button.  One of them required me to copy the image to my desktop, while the other allowed me to just copy and paste the image.  Pretty easy, huh?  I thought so...have fun!
