Thanks must be made to Tom Kuhlmann from the Rapid eLearning Blog who introduced me to the application for your desktop (wow, an app that isn’t for an iPhone … whatever next!) called Poladroid.
Use the free application to create a Polaroid™ image that you can use when you generate your courses and presentations. It’s really easy to use; when you open the camera on your desktop, all you need to do is drag-and-drop the picture on the camera icon and then wait a while as it develops.
Here’s one I created earlier using an image I used in a recent Prezi presentation (the final image is a good 1392 x 1692 pixel size so be sure to use a decent original image or it will look a little naff after processing);
Tom has also linked to his Screenr walk-through where he shows it in operation, so it’s worth the 5 minutes to watch it too.
As I’m a big fan of the BBC hit comedy Red Dwarf, I couldn’t talk about polaroids without showing the classic scene where Kryten (robot, sorry android!) has been made human and … well, watch it!!
