All About Me Scavenger Hunt

I spent the class yesterday and today working on the all about me scavenger hunt. I discovered what happened on my birthday, the origins of my name, and researched the ideal vacation. Throughout the reasearching I documented the sources I used in EasyBib.com and with that I created a works cited page for the scavenger hunt. This was like a little practice project used to develop our skills in citing our souces correctly and efficently. With these skills obtained, I can now easily avoid plagairism!

Citation Machines

Citations machines such as easybib can be used to help you create bibliographies and works cited pages with ease. I signed up for an easybib account today and can now easily create bilbliographies. The directions werent very clear to me though, stating that we should work on a worksheet that was not passed out. Either way, citation machines like easybib can make citing your sources for papers or projects much easier.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is taking somebody's thoughts and ideas and useing them as your own. Use citations to credit the source and to avoid plagairism.

Which Image Generators are the Best?

The answer to this question depends on what kind of picture you desire. Every image generator has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Image Chef is a simple easy site that allows you to make creative, funny, or meaningful images. I learned how to make word mosaics and customizable frames here.

Big huge labs allows you to make frames, text, decorations, and color schemes and add them to your desired image. You can also create calenders, album, and puzzles here as well. Big huge Lab has many options.

Comic Generator is unique because it allows you to create your own comic stips useing customizable frames and characters along with the ability to upload your own pictures.

Picnik.com Is probably the best editing site of all the image generators. It has a vast variety of editing methods and technigues which allows you to alter your photo to your specific likeing.

More over, the best image generator for you depends on your situation and your interests.
