Isn’t it funny how things sometimes just happen. My friend, Lisa, asked me this week if I knew of any interactive plagiarism sites that she could use with her middle school students and off the top of my head I didn’t have any answers. Fast forward to tonight…. I’m on Twitter and what do I see but a post by The Teacher Page about this great interactive plagiarism site produced by the Vaughan Memorial Library at Acadia Univeristy. This interactive will present well on the SMARTBoard for a class lesson/review. I just shared it with my friend and the Library Media Specialists in my district and thought I should share it here, too–ENJOY!

Another site for some fun and creative ways to enhance your images is DUMPR . In their own words “Dumpr is where you create marvelous photos to share with your friends.” You do not have to create an account unless you want to save your creation to your computer. So you can head over to their site, create a one of a kind photo creation, embed or take a screen shot of it to add your to your blog, wiki or Notebook Lesson. Below is a Rubrick’s Cube of my adorable Violet that took me 3 minutes to create. ENJOY!

DoppelMe Avatars

I learned of another very fun site called DoppelMe that allows you to create avatars. I found this site very intuitive and easy to use. It allows you the option of creating an avatar without registering for a free account. Creating a free account however allows you to save your work in order to make changes and also gives you options otherwise not available. In classrooms it’s a fun way for your students to identify themselves on class blogs or wikis or SMART Notebook lessons without using actual photos. This is the avatar I just made without registering- ENJOY!
