Reflection on image manipulation

Yet another useful tool to use in the classroom. I particularly like the capacity within Picnik to be able to add comments/icons etc. rather than the photo modification tools. I.e. changing the substance of a picture.
In other words, I see the value in students being able to access a topical photo, then adding their interpretations and commenting on specific elements of the photo via the tools in picnic. I would use this by choosing a relevant photo such as one that holds historical relevance. Students can then use Picnik to highlight the elements of the photo that represent any historical meaning to them and then share their efforts with the class.


By the way, Darth is not the historical photo I was refering to!!!
