Testing, Testing, 1 2 3.
This is my second posting I have ever made on a blog before. This being my second because I accidently deleted my first. This blog is a part of one of my UNI class assessments so I will be writing about my experiences with various forms of technology within the Primary Classroom, along with my views and opinions towards various literature and commentaries related to e-learning in the classroom.
In my very first class Ihad the opportunity to try out and experiment with the program photo booth. In this program a student can take a picture of themselves (either using the inbuilt camera which most macs have, or a web cam) and then edit it through the various effects that they have. These effects can ultimately distort images giving them a warped end result. Effects include mirroring, a fish-eyed look, swirling the image and also making a student look as if they are in a cartoon. Students are only limited by their creativity. This program is very simple to use. So simple that I believe students in Kindergarten can use it. Most children now days can use cameras and have basic computer skills so a good end result is quite achievable. These effects can ultimately distort images giving a warped end result. Above is an example of an image I created within class. It was really fun to use, and most of the photos I took were really funny. A teacher can most definately base an art lesson around this program. Hope you like it.
