I have so many ideas for how I want to use this program in the classroom this year! Primarily, I want to make a collage of photos of my students in the shape of the Cat in the Hats hat... but I think it has tons of other uses as well!
My students always seem to struggle with the "Which one does not belong?" questions on a test, despite tons of practice. Im thinking I can make cute photo collages to use for this activity... for example, using all pictures of winter items in the shape of a winter hat, with a summer image placed in as well. I think the kids will have a blast playing "I Spy" to look for the picture that doesnt belong... plus this shape will give them a hint as to the category it belongs in, which would make a great introduction point!
How do you think youll use this in your classroom?
As for next weeks poll, I did promise last week that Id add how to add HTML code to a blog post. Im excited to see which one wins this time!
