Rollyo

This is probably the best thing I have seen so far in terms of school relevance. Students do not really understand how to evaluate relevant websites when they are searching for information. This would allow the students to go to the Rollyo Search that the teacher has created and search from there.
I am currently going through the books on the list of 1001 books to read before you die and so I created a Rollyo search called Book Search. http://www.rollyo.com/aristea/

Instant Sketch Image Generator

I liked Cherie's Simpsonizer blog and tried to check it out in the hope of becoming a Simpson's character myself, but the link didn't work. It may just be because i am trying to do several different things at once. Looks insteresting so I will come back to it at a later date.

Instead I was able to create a sketch from a photo using the Instant Sketch generator. Here is a photo of Richard's cat.

Its quite easy to use, you just click on the link below, upload the photo you would like to create a sketch from and then a few moments later your picture appears as a sketch. Its best to use close ups with contrasting colours. You can then save it to your computer or to Flickr and upload it to your blog. Simple!
