These two images above use personal photos but I see how they could be used to enhance the curriculum. I use the mosaic maker and the pop art generator for these photos. I also use the image mash up for the images in my right side bar. I also made a video using Animoto and am waiting for it to generate. I will post this later.
I see all of these programs as helping students enhance the visual part of their projects. I really just see the pop art as enhancing. With the mosaic maker in a history classroom, students could make a mosaic of important figures, places, or events related to a selected topic. Students could also take the mosaic a step further and put the photos in a spefic order, chronological or thematical.
With the image mash up, students could use this as a creative way to post questions or thoughts in general where the bachground must be related to the post.
With animoto, well, students could use animoto for an presentation instead of a powerpoint or poster. AND it can be posted on a blog. I am pretty convinced now that I am going to create a blog for each of my classes.
This was really a lot of fun.
Kids love doing anything using technology. I am excited that you are beginning to learn lots of new techniques to use in your classroom. Blogs are so much fun and there are so many ways of using the technology instead of posters.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with those pictures. I feel like that could have some good application in a math class looking at symmetry or something like that.
ReplyDeleteI looked for how to do this and I couldn't figure it out. The students like to work with images when they are researching, and this would be a good way to put many of the pictures that they find in the same place.
