Brief synopsis: The Web 2.0 application, Automotivator, is an online poster program that allows teachers and students to create motivational posters and share them with other Web 2.0 applications such as Flicker, Facebook and blogs or web sites. Automotivator is easy to use and requires no registration.
Benefits: The Web 2.0 application, Automotivator, is extremely easy to use. Teachers could easily use Automotivator at any grade level. Automotivator allows users to upload pictures of their own and add text to them, but Automotivator also provides a small library of pictures that can be accessed with the simple point and click of a mouse. Once motivational posters are created, they can be shared on other Web 2.0 applications, such as Facebook, Flickr and blogs. Uploaded pictures can also be easily pasted into blogs and web sites, using the URLs created in other Web 2.0 applications. Automotivator requires no registration.
Drawbacks: Automotivator places advertising on its home page, so school district servers may block this Web 2.0 application. Automotivator does not create embed codes, meaning users must copy the web addresses that are created by other Web 2.0 applications like Flickr and Facebook, if the user wants to add the poster to a blog or web site.
