Yesterday in class, we worked with photoshop, fotoflexer, or gimp, to alter photos we took of key scenes in different texts.
The scene to the left is supposed to be from Lord of the Flies, at the point where Piggy dies and Ralph is speared and runs away. I added weapons, water and a pig's head to make it a little more interesting.
How could photo manipulation enhance students' learning in the classroom? They could alter pictures to better represent their thoughts more accurately. Creating images represented in texts would help them practice visualizing techniques and give them a chance to be creative as well as analytical. It would also be a good introduction to programs that are not as easy to familiarize yourself with as Facebook or Word.
