Activities for the computer room

• Look, you will be able to build your name using letters from Flickr. Look at my name:

 

If you want to build yours, this is the link: http://metaatem.net/words/. You only have to write the name in the white box, click on "spell" and you will get your letters. If you want to change the type, just click on each letter and a new one will apperar.  Click right mouse button on each letter to save it as a jpg image. You can use them in your school homeworks, posters, in headlines, titles, headings... or just to write a letter or a greeting card to a friend. This is more original than using Word or PowerPoint WordArt. Isn´t it?.

• Try another one. Using the software Web2.oWrite, we transform a text into icons. I have used it and this is what I got:

• The following one is in French, but I'm sure you will do with it: Coloriage Prenom.

• Graffiti Creator. Create your own graffiti.

• Scary fonts to download, for Halloween.
