Had a blast learning about how an educator can apply math with taking pictures yesterday! The tool that I have decided to use to create a picture college of all of the interesting photographs that I took was through LiveCollage. This app features tools that can edit and view pictures and videos, while also having different themes to create postcards! I think using LiveCollage would be very beneficial to use in a classroom setting because it allows a child to be creative and open with photography. One way that I would incorporate this tool into my future classroom is creating a lesson where the students would go out and explore nature and take different pictures then make a collage with his or her cool findings.
Students could use the LiveCollage app to show his or her work to parents. LiveCollage makes the app easy to use because all of your collages are saved under your photo library on your device. The only thing challenging about this app is that it is easier to use depending on the class age range. I think using LiveCollage is a good way to show kids how to use a device through photography!!
For more information on this cool app just head to the App Store and download it for free today!!
I would have to agree with the statement about using apps for certain age groups. With the younger kids, I definitely think it would be more challenging. I also like how you talked about being able to show parents what they did. That way parents can get involved. I also love how energetic and excited you are about this app. Also I suggest adding a title to your post so I know what your articles are about (:
ReplyDeleteI think this was a well though out post. When you said you would have your class make a collage of the outdoors and nature, I thought it might be a nice idea to give them a theme, or maybe even colors. You could easily use an app like this to create a class collage, and maybe even print and display it in the room! The app I used was more of a photo editor so i am interested in checking this one out. I wish there were images to view so I could see your work!
