Tech Potion No. 9

Okay, this one was a pain at first and then almost reached fun.  Image Chef was the easiest to navigate and the most user friendly.  I can see how creating custom signs would be a great tool for the classroom, and the students could be more apt to follow classroom rules if they were presented in signs that looked familar but were tailored to their class.

The license plate represents my home state, and a phrase that I hear often when people find out I am from New Jersey.  The buttom I created was kind of a personal stance because I hear my name literally over 100 times per day, and sometimes I wish I could wear a button for about ten minutes per day, although it is a personal wish and not one I would ever put in to effect in class.  My sign is how I am feeling at this moment in time, and thankfully, I know it will pass.  I had no idea there was so much out there to utilize as far as creativity for the classroom.  After I come off my tech overload, I know I will enjoy digging deeper into these different flickr associated websites and learning all I can offer my students.
