The photo sharing idea is a great tool for anyone who has been on trips or special events. I already have an account with photobucket.com for all the photos my team and I took while on our trip to Guatemala. With all the photos in one place, we can pull the ones out we want and make our own DVD of our experiences. Of course, we have permission to use each others photos.
The idea of creatively messing with photos or images in sites such as Big Huge Labs is a wonderful way for my students to illustrate what they publish in a blog. I envision each student having their own blog to publish a writing piece and using photo imaging and sharing to become illustrators as well. We know that illustrators must have a deep comprehension of a writing piece, so this would be a good tool to increase students' comprehension skills and motivate students to write. In doing so, they see the connections between what is written and what is illustrated. Creative photo sharing could be a great tool to engage those students who are visual learners and have trouble putting words on paper. They could start with a creative photo and compose their writing around the illustrations. Very fun!
