Wordle

Wordle: Untitled

This is my wordle I created, inspired by this term's English course. You can click on the picture to take you to the wordle.

Picnik - Week 4 Activity


Above are the before and after photos from using the online editing software Piknik.

I believe this tool could be a valuable resource for students as it will give them a creative license to edit their images. In today's society, creative ability is valued, as you need to stick out from the crowd.

 It's fast, there is no sign up fees, and most importanty it is VERY user friendly. Anybody can use it!

Tag Galaxy - Week 4 Activity

What a fascinating image search device. You type in a 'tag' or several 'tags' and Tag Galaxy will select a domain of images that contain these tags. Have a look at my screenshot below. I used the tags Garden + Macro + Flower + Pink + Nature and it has selected 10,431 images that contain those features. This could be a really great tool for students to use, to narrow down on those long strenuous google image searches looking for the perfect picture. Tag Galaxy does it all for you. Another plus is that it finds images from Flickr, images that are available for creative commons.

Flickr - Week 4 Activity

Flickr is a great website, hosting many creative common images that the public can use, particularly useful for educators. Below are two images I have taken off Flickr.

Mobaphoto - Week 4 Activity

This is a photo I took, resized using the free easy-to-use software, Mobaphoto

This is a PrintScreen of a picture gallery that you can also create using Mobaphoto. The pictures can also operate in a slideshow. You do however have to have the photos saved on your drive for this feature to work.
