Digital Photo Assignment

This past week, we worked on editing photos using various digital photo editing software.  I edited two different photos for my assignment, using Picasa and Pixlr.

It was great using the various software to manipulate the photos and brainstorm ways to utilize photo editing software in my classroom.  I think that as an English teacher, finding ways to use photo editing in my class on a regular basis can be harder than expected.  But after talking with my classmates, I realize that there is a lot to be done using photos and digital photo editing software, including using it to teach mood and tone, symbolism, and creating story prompts.  Overall, I've found that there is more potential for photo editing with my lessons and students than originally believed.  I can't wait to start using it in my next classroom!
