- Fakebook And Greek Gods
I have used Fakebook for a few years with my WHI kids to have them make comments between the gods. Fakebook lets students create comments and posts, upload pictures (or have them chosen from the Internet) and even add in video. If you watch...

I have been using Russell Tarr's Fakebook for several years with my students. It allows the kids to create a Facebook like page where they can have friends, put up posts and make comments. It is not real in that the students are not sharing...
- Fakebook And Faketweet
If you follow this blog, you know I like Fakebook and FakeTweet which allows students to create facsimiles of Facebook and Twitter without having to create a login/password. Above is a video on how to create a Fakebook page. On our county in-service...

I've done a number of posts on Fakebook which allows you to create a historical discussion between many people, put in their pictures, have friends, etc. In fact it looks very much like the real thing, but no login/password is required...

I showed my teacher students tonight so they could create Fakebook pages with their students. I use it, for example, to have my students converse between different historical characters. What I love about it is that the algorithm finds...

Faketext SMS Generator
I would love it if my county went to an opt out for login/password much as we do with Family Life Education as it would open so much more to my students. But until then it is great to have British teacher Russell Tarr and his great inventions such as Fakebook (my posts on how to do it), Faketweet (some of my posts on it) and now the SMS Generator as none of them require a login/password and yet each can be saved and re-edited and give the user a unique url. One of my teacher-students came up with the great idea to use a Google Form and had her students turn in their links to Fakebook that way.
Well now you can do a similar fun exchange between two people and have your students pretend they are texting. It is amazingly easy. At the top of this post is a very simple example I just did. When you look at the bottom of the SMS Generator, you will see on the left (under #1) a "+" which you click to have a text appear on the left and #5 above will make another person's appear on the right. The gear (#3) gives you the option to get the embed code as well as a QR picture (which you can also see above). The "new" icon lets you start a new set of texts.
Incidentally I found out about the SMS Generator from a G+ post from Richard Byrne.
