I had a lot of fun with this "thing." A couple of hours have passed and I've made a movie poster, tried my hand at trading cards, turned a photo into a sketch, looked at making calendars, creating color palettes, etc.
I immediately thought of a project our second graders did last year where they had to draw an animal they were researching because it was becoming too expensive to print the photos they found online in color (and also because we wanted them to learn even more about their animals by coloring them). An app at www.dumpr.net/ allows you to turn photos into sketches and would be perfect for this assignment. You can see my example of a salamander sketch below, made from a picture on the website our computer specialist created for our second grade students.

Hi,
I am taking some time and reading other blogs. I hadn't dumpr. It is fun and addicting. I love these image generators!!
What a good idea. Make sure that you add your curriculum suggestions to our wiki at http://calcurriculum.pbwiki.com/
How did you come across dumpr? I went there after reading about it on your blog and it is terrific.
