Hey Everyone,
Sorry it took me a bit to reply here to my previous post.
Been busy getting ready for the new school year decorating classrooms, meeting
parents, and designing new curriculum.
The main purpose of anything I post on this site for the
benefit of other teachers, parents and students. I do enjoy sharing my ideas,
activities, and games on the forum and I find that on the whole the reception
here is very positive. While I have contributed many word files and PPT’s to
this site directly a lot of what I create is done in an incompatible format ( a
different file type and size ) making it impossible to otherwise share.
I can assure you all that I am not a spammer, bot, or troll
and only wish to help others by sharing. I am not selling anything, make no
money (I’m a teacher haha ) and do all of this for the love of teaching.
In regard to images used in my creations, I do occasionally use
images I find on search engines to incorporate into my projects. These are
usually then edited again with other software and used under the “fair use”
laws. More information about this can be found at: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107
Some of the images I have used are
actually in other contributions on this site. If you do a content search for “Disney”
or “Minions” you will see them.
I hope this answers anyone’s questions regarding what I have
posted here.
To leave everyone with a final uplifting note about creating
your own fun money here is how I make it:
1. I start with power point and add / create images and put
them together with colored shapes
2. Save the “dollar” I created on PPT as a PNG file
3. Insert the PNG file into a formatted word document
4. Cut and laminated the fun money to give to students and
watch them smile ^_^
Here is one last image I created for one of my classes. It
was a very personal “dollar” I made when the class graduated and I had to say
goodbye and good luck to these young ones. I find personalization of activities
and materials for your students, no matter what the age has a much bigger
impact then just using a vague text book or worksheet they can’t relate too.
Good luck everyone and keep up the amazing work your all doing!
Best Wishes
Oh, I saw these images on a billboard just now, so I�ve googled them. They are called �Minions�. Must be little characters for kids. (I�m probably alone in not knowing that before...)
