Today at school we were designing our clan tartan, so just wanted to share a couple of fun and easy sites for doing this online. The first one is from the House of Tartan, and the second slightly 'way out' design is from Tartanmaker.com. The class really enjoyed it, even though the laptops were being more grumpy and frustrating than normal. Grrrrrr... computers - it's a love / hate thing. And relax.
After closer inspection of the tartanmaker site (one of those internet episodes where you get dragged into an endless whirlpool of clicking on link after link until you forget what it was that made you log on in the first place - is there a name for this? surely there must be by now!) I came across two other sites by the same site designers - stripe generator that does a nice line in everything stripey and image reflection generator, which is what it is. Will I ever use these tools? Probably not. Did I bookmark them anyway? Of course I did! The second one is actually quite fun.
Just feeling very conscious of my habit of bookmarking every new website I find, but then forgetting about them.
Another new site I discovered via techcrunch today is Kerproof, where kids can create their own stories, pictures and movies. It has an element of social collaboration about it in that you can edit other people's stories too. Will look at this further. Problem is that the majority of computers in our ICT suite don't like this kind of website, and our tech guy never seems to be able to fix it. Hey ho.
