ImageChef: This site lets you customize signs and pictures with your own text. These images make fun additions to reports, cards, your blog, and anywhere.  Every so off then this site gets blocked by our filters.  If it is blocked, please let me know so I can get it off the filtering list.  Below are a few
images I made for the library.




Big Huge Labs: This site lets you “mash” images into magazine covers, puzzles, trading cards, and more.

Wordle: This site lets you turn text into beautiful word mosaics. Use it to create mosaics of your personal traits or hobbies, to analyze a writer’s key concepts, or to evaluate words you may be over-using when you write. I used a wordle for the banner across the top of the library MyConnect page.


Canva: Lets you combine images you upload with text and some other fun features.  Use only the free items. I upload all my own images. This site requires you to have an account. It is easy to set up and free as long as you have an email account. You can also not use this with an ipad. 



PicMonkey and Ribbet are both photo editors that allow you to remix and frame photos as well as create collages.  Careful, use only the free version.
