Image Editing Assignment

I used the bighugelabs.com website to create a trading card to show how students could use this template to create a book review or character summary. I used Easybib.com to create the citation as well as using Google advanced search to find a picture with a creative commons license.

 Students could use the "Make Visual Poetry" option on www.imagechef.com when writing their own poem during a poetry unit.




I also used the breaking news feature on www.tuxpi.com to create an image that could go along with a report during a Famous Americans unit. Students could also use the postage stamp feature for the same type of unit.

Hello everyone! I am excited and nervous at the same time about this new journey we are going on. I had been trying to decide between Librarian and Reading Specialist and after some prayer and lots of talking/thinking, a friend brought me the information on this course and I decided to go for it! I can't believe that I am adding "one more thing" to my plate but I know it will be worth it in the end. I am a mom to an amazing 7-year-old daughter and I have been married for 11 years in June. I grew up in Newport News and have lived here my entire life. I went to CNU and Radford for my undergraduate degrees. I have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration, after a few years of working in business I decided that I wanted to teach. Teaching had always been something I wanted to do but I let myself get talked out of it when I began college. I began teaching Kindergarten in 2008 and then moved to First Grade in 2010. I am looking forward to this new journey although I know it is going to be hard juggling work, family, and school. I am embracing the challenge!
