This was a topic for our learning journey! Using images and podcasts to enhance students learning, I have discussed using podcasts to learn so now I am touching on using images to learn. Using programs such as photobucket, allows you to edit and manipulate an image top suit your needs/likes/requirements. You can play with the contrast, saturation, brightness, colours, styles and textures of the photo, you can also add stickers, text and other items to the photo, you can then save a copy of the photo as to not save over the original. These are stored in an album and kept there for you to edit and play with as much as necessary. You can create collages, scrapbooks and other photo items also.
I believe this would be a great tool to use when talking about media and the manipulation of images- photoshopping etc. Especially young girls and there image awareness, a unit could be based on how the media and magazine editors manipulate the photos to enhance their look and change their body shape, eye colour etc. Students would also be engaged by using these image tools so therefore will be learning effectively. Have a look at these images that I have manipulated myself using photobucket.
