Mutapic is a Web 2.0 tool that I would use in my freshman cornerstone class to help my students create logos for their business cards and resumes. As part of this class, we talk about our students dependable strengths to help create a resume with. Some of you may have attended a dependable strengths training before, but what for those of you that haven't, this is a way to talk about past experiences and achievements and share them with other students. In their stories, they include descriptions of what they did and why they were so proud of these accomplishments. After telling 3-4 stories, the students that were listening tell the story teller attributes and characteristics they noticed they repeated in their stories. This gives each student a list of strengths and positive characteristics that they can list on their resume and they are already armed with stories that they can share with their future employers to use as examples of those strengths and characteristics.
After finding their wonderful strengths and attributes, the students will then create a logo to use on their resumes and business cards that help define them and show their personality. Students can be as dole as they want or as creative as they want when generating their logos. This Web 2.0 tool provides templates to help get students started and to aid in their creativity or lack of.
You've taught me two things, one, this is my first experience seeing anything like the Mutapic-Piocture Generator and two, I haven't attended a dependable strengths training, nor have I ever heard of this type training. I am going to look into both. Thanks, Becky!
