Thing Two: Photo Fun

I decided to complete Option 3, Edit, Create & Share.  I am familiar with Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. & I use Google Photos regularly since my phone automatically backs up all of my photos there!!  I love that I don't have to worry about losing my pictures and videos.  Google organizes my photos by date and creates albums automatically.  I did check out Tumblr and will spend some more time discovering what it has to offer later.

The two sites I checked out were BigHugeLabs & Photovisi.  I found them easy to use and created some cool pictures!   I created a magazine cover, and two collages shared below.


In thinking how I might use these with my students. . .

1) Create a booktalk poster
2) Take pictures of their research/writing process and discuss the steps along the way
3) Spine labels collage of their favorite books
4) Genre poster using spine labels of titles they read in that genre
5) Author highlight
