I like this tool. I was going to use it for this project but you beat me too it. I think it is a cool way to use images to express ideas and perspectives.
ReplyDeleteYou talked about the uses for a teacher to use this product but I think it can work for students as well. Say the student is given the task of creating a collage, this could a creative way to use the internet to create something like a collage.
This seems interesting to me. I haven't heard of it before and sounds like iphoto on steroids! I think that adding music and video and being able to do it seamlessly really is any presenters dream. As most of us know, Power Point has some limits, especially with video, so having a tool that can incorporate it in a seamless fashion is really great. I will definately check this out! Thanks.
