Images
When I was teaching I spent a lot of time looking up images and citing them but still managed to be intimidated by this minor project. I chose two images from the cite dedicated to the classroom and both images originated at Pixbay. The bulk of this blog post will be on the tools that I experimented with. Above is the untouched image of Medusa. I didn’t manipulate it but I had permission to. The citation was checked and is believed to be correct. The second image which I will post now is the one I did manipulate and try with the different tools.
I knew what I was looking for as I looked through the tools. I just wanted a simple word and font to honor my mother. I learned that I really liked Pixlr.com for this because it had a similar feel to Canva which I’ve used in the past teaching. I didn’t like foldplay.com as much because it had a very specific niche to it but I did save it in case I wanted a kaleidoscope or foldbook in the future. Bighugelabs.com also was niche but I would use the things like movie posters and photo booths more often.

Loved your images, both stand out! I enjoyed seeing how you manipulated the word MOM in the image, nice tribute to her!
Hi Jasmyne,
I love these images that you decided to incorporate for this blog post. The medusa image is very powerful and is very attention grabbing. As a teacher, especially in the early childhood/elementary level, I feel that finding strong images that grab the attention of students is very important because they are young and are still learning attentiveness and how to apply themselves in education. It’s also very amazing how you utilized Pixlr to create a beautiful image representing your love for your mother! It is fantastic that you had the opportunity to play around with different photo editing sites and you found one that works best for you. I believe that everyone is unique in their abilities, and that as educators we have to incorporate any sort of resources that we can identify with to effectively educate students. Great job!
