The first image generator I tried was WordSift because I have never heard of it or used it before. I decided to use the poem by Yeats called The Lake Isle of Innsfree. I love this poem and heard the words put to music this morning during church. It was super easy to use and would be great for students to dissect a story, poem, or Bible verse.
The next image generator I decided to check out was FlipSnack because I have never heard or used it before. Before even getting started I could tell this was a great teacher resource and can't wait to share this new gem! I decided to take all the PDF files I had during my Printer Based Media Design class I took at HBU this summer. I have created a portfolio of all my PDF files. This is sooo cool! I like this better than making a PDF portfolio with Adobe Acrobate Pro. It is easy to use and you the great part is you can customize it. Our school has been talking about students creating an ongoing educational portfolio. Below is my FlipSnack PDF portfolio. I have added FlipSnack to my Delicious account!
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

I love that poem. Yeats is the best. Alas, Yeats is a little too sophisticated to use with my students...but I could definitely see myself using WordSift in my classroom. Thanks for sharing!
