Tile Letter - Buttons for Download
Jun 02, 2011
I was trying to find an image that made one think of insurance. I just wanted as a background for a new course I'm creating. I couldn't find one that spoke to my particular need, but I did see this example from the Lencurrie Life website - http://www.lencurrie.com/2009/08/do-i-have-enough-life-insurance/
So this gave me the idea that I didn't necessarily need an image, perhaps I could just create an image with the word I needed to convey, but in a slightly creative way. So that meant I needed some letter tiles and not finding exactly what I needed nor having tiles on hand to rearrange and take a picture of....I created my own.
And.....since I love to share. Here they are for you as well.
(this is updated to ensure all tiles have all point values)

Thanks for sharing your idea, Tracy
Very nice! Love to see these kinds of ideas for inspiration
Okay, that's very cool Tracy. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool, thanks very much for sharing

A Scrabble analogy for a future e-learning course!

Correction. After seeing some folks use the letters I realized a few were missing their point values.
Here is a corrected version.
Awesome, thanks Tracy.
Go Canucks!!!!! Stanley Cup #BringItHome night tonight.
Not to be Dougie Downer, but I'm thinking by adding the numbers to the tiles there could be copyright/trademark infringement issues.
From my Electronic Arts Scrabble game: "HASBRO and its logo...the distinctive letter tile designs...are trademarks of Hasbro in the United States and Canada and are used by permission."
Mike B. you are most likely exactly correct. I was amazed at how many places on the intranet I could find them as images, fonts, etc.
@ Mike B.
I hope this is a better work around then for this. Here are tile letters in stone and a much different font, no point values.
This should still help those that need a resource such as this. Thoughts?
For in-house courses where there's no "profit" involved, I always check with the Legal (and sometimes Compliance) Departments regarding copyright issues. Especially with Ethics programs in place in most corporations, your Legal "eagles" can let you know if the use of certain Registered or Trademarked images could cause a problem.
Again, it depends... but often the answer was it was okay to use the images because these were courses for internal employees; the corporation wasn't selling the courses to make a profit.
Now, if you ARE selling the courses to make a profit, then the answer is "no", the use of those R or TM images would be a clear violation of Copyright and Trademark laws in the USA.
(Sheesh... the above comes from years of coordinating projects with Legal and Compliance folks. LOL)
"Trust but verify" and become really good friends with your Legal and Compliance Department colleagues.
Well done Tracy...thanks for the share!

You're almost always going to be covered by internal usage, but make sure your course will not be shown publicly at trade shows, used on demos, or submitted in contests.
Tracy,
Much better. Captures the spirit of the original without annoying the lawyers.
Very creative, and I like the stone versions too. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Well done Tracy...thanks for the share! Like the stones!
Tracy,
for sharing!
Great contribution, Tracy! Thanks...
I can just them spinning into a screen, just like in a Gumby animation -- and I don't even like spinnies!

I was thinking of doing an "Intro to Linguistics" module for my portfolio and this will be PERFECT for it. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
In case anyone's interested in even more creative & useful freebies, Kayla shared another nice set of 3D letter blocks here.
