Some of my favorites are: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heromachine.com\/heromachine-2-5-character-portrait-creator\/\">Hero Machine<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/marvel.com\/games\/play\/31\/create_your_own_superhero\">Marvel Commics<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heroized.com\/\">Heroized<\/a>. Today 2nd graders in Ms. Becker&#8217;s class and 5th graders in Mr. Cangelosi&#8217;s class at Davis Elementary turned themselves into superheroes using Pixie and Google slides. First we opened up Pixie and painted a superhero body. Then we used the webcam tool to add our photo to the body. We exported the pictures as PNG images with transparent backgrounds. Next we opened up a Google slides template that I shared on Google classroom.  Each student was assigned a slide, and they added a background image.  Then they uploaded their superhero picture to their slide.  Finally they wrote a sentence or two about their superpower and maybe their weakness (that was optional). Take a look at the Davis superheroes here: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1uXv9DIbP4R2iQfxHq0VSjm1RzPC5_4xJdqATHTGXdwU\/pub?start=false&#038;loop=false&#038;delayms=3000\">Becker <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1iCFhEhwGweh3R82WyDvvWW1-J1fbxZOeSL3kZfaM-B4\/pub?start=false&#038;loop=false&#038;delayms=3000\">Cangelosi<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many schools have a superhero theme this year, and there are lots of cool websites for turning yourself into a superhero.
