Playing Around with Images!

Welcome to my photo gallery of images edited with various tools that I have been playing around with recently. The "photo gallery" effect above was edited very easily with Photofunia, a new site that I read about thanks to Vicky Saumell's lovely blog post"Photofunia".

Vicky has a great array of posts on images that you can view via the Images label on the sidebar of her excellent Educational Technology in ELT blog. This is another post called "Working with Images" which contains some fab and practical information. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Below is a "book" effect using Photofunia. You can see little Samantha in the pages of the book. I think it's possible to place 2 different photos rather than the same one.

All these tools can be used to great effect in various projects by your students. There is a huge bank of different categories that can be selected. You can incorporate edited images into a special Powerpoint presentation and it will add an extra element of fun!

Why don't you try some of these tools out and see for yourself how easy they are to use?
I would love to hear how you get on :)
