Thing #9





I thought I could influence girls in 5th grade with the Jessica Simpson cartoon to like science more by this image generator, but I could see how boys would be influenced too. Actually it was the only one I found that I could work with for this particular "thing." I liked the Albert Einstein one too obviously because I am using it. I think having posters like these in the class is a comical way to help spike interest in a particular subject. The more you can link pictures and ideas with what you are trying to teach helps students retain what you want them to learn. I think that you could use this website that I have posted below in the classroom by having the students create a science project where they have to create an image of their choice of something in nature or something science related that is the feature of their presentation. It would be the visual of their presentation incorporating technology learning with science. It was really easy and kinda fun to find images and put your words in the caption.
