This was one of my favorite 'things'. I really had fun and I must say so did my own children. We were taking family photos (which I prefer not to post) and changing them and adding effects to them. We were all laughing and having fun with it. We first started with the befunky site. We took several pictures of my two year old and made them into sketches and cartoons. It was hilarious! Then I went down the list and tried most of the other sites as well.
Then I began to think of ways that I could integrate this into my classroom. Wouldn't it be great if we could write a story and then digitally tell it with a picture storybook? I think that there were several sites that would work for this. Or better yet...write a script and let the characters on the screen tell the story.
I really liked the xtranormal site! The possibilities are ENDLESS! I will have to update you all on what my students come up with over the next couple of weeks. Enjoy your spring break! :)

I'm so glad you had a great time with exploring some of the Web 2.0 sites. When I took this class, this was one of my favorite "Things" as well. I completely understand not wanting to post your children's pictures, too.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how you might use these tools in your classroom and look forward to what you might post. Enjoy!!
