I attended Dr. Bishop's summer workshop which was a preview of the 23 Things that we're working on now. My favorite image generator that we were introduced to at the workshop was Flickr's motivational poster generator. Not only does it have great applications in the library, such as allowing kids to analyze and summarize an image in as few words as possible, but it can be just plain fun. I've seen so many people use the image generator for fun on various forums. It was very easy to use and very easy to save the photos.
When I finally started working through the 23 Things blog and go to thing #10, I decided to explore other image generators and chose the Ecard generator. It would be an easy way to create certificates and send them online or just to print them for members of your book clubs or to your students after having finished a contest. You can also create posters to post in your library. I created the caution poster just for practice for this post. If you have the problem of people getting hit by doors being opened too quickly, you could make a caution poster for your door. All in all, image generators are definitely useful tools for a library setting, no matter the campus level.
