Here is my photo of my little love. It was taken at the hospital during his second day of life. I love the way he is looking right at me.
In this edited version you can see the changes I put in place. I used the effects tool to add a Frost look. Next, I tried using the Touch Up tool to enhance his eyes. I'm not sure how successful I was with that though. I added in the text box and moved it to the bottom right. The font I chose for this was Sue Ellen Francisco. I used the Overlay tool to add in the heart shape around him and the Frames tool to add the Craft Scissors background.
Using PicMonkey
in the classroom could be so powerful. I envision taking pictures of the
students modeling various classroom and school rules. Students could then take
those photos and edit them in PicMonkey adding in the text to state the rules.
This would allow the students to gain more ownership and buy-in.
Other uses could include creating vocabulary cards for individual units of study, creating memes of themselves for parents to read at the annual Open House night, and novel reviews in lieu of a book report.

Welcome to the world of grandparenting! I love the picture of your little one. You will soon have such amusing stories to share. I suggest you write down all of the cute little antedotes, your grandchild will love to hear about all of the things he did when he was little.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the picmonkey made him the center of your heart.
Using the editing tool to add student photos to the classroom guideline/rules that they participate in establishing is a great way to add ownership to their learning environment. Super idea!!!
ReplyDeleteThe baby is adorable! As a middle school librarian I am planning to steal the idea of having students in the photo for stating rules. I have never used PicMonkey before this class. Even middle schoolers benefit for seeing a photo instead of trying to read a list of things! Great idea!
