An Alternative to Canva

From a review from gerenm.photograpy, "Every so often, and especially around holidays, we all need to put together some sort of photo collage, be it for a Facebook post, an e-mail to friends and family, or for some sort of promotional material for our businesses. And, certainly, we can do it in Photoshop or InDesign or Illustrator or even Lightroom - if we have the time. More than likely, though, we need to do it quickly, and most of the "usual suspects" are not conducive to getting the job done right now."

Silhouette collage art

The following Silhouette collage art lesson is from Christine Theodore.  The students used flashlights to trace each others silhouette then covered them with magazine clippings with words that described themselves.  I think this could work with Tagul as a word cloud after the silhouette image has been placed in Tagul.

ThingLink and Pic-Collage

This will be my last post of the 2015-2016 school year.  Good luck on your exams and have a great summer.  I will be posting again in September.

A couple of years ago I posted about ThingLink.  It is a free app that allows you to use your  device to make interactive pictures by placing pins on the photo.  When you mouse of the pin it will pop open to show another picture or video or a map or whatever else you can embed.  I have posted below example from math from Mary Kate Brennan's webpage.  The frog dissection was from a student contest on ThingLinks web page.  Also a collage with links to youtube like the one below could be done for science or art very easily using Pic-Collage and ThingLink.  Donna Baumbach made a Creative Commons slide show entitled "88+ Interesting Ways to Use ThingLink in the Classroom.  To see the slide show click here.
