This week, we spent time on using graphics in the classroom. We discussed different ways to photoshop images and add text, specifically using PowerPoint. I am no stranger to photoshopping images, it was one of my many pandemic hobbies when lockdowns were still in place. However, I do not usually use the “classic” platforms, my app of choice has always been Picsart on my iPhone. As someone who is not very comfortable on a laptop, I like to do all my photo editing on my iPhone. Thus, I found an app that allows me to do so for free.
In the future, I would like to get more comfortable with using Canva and PowerPoint due to their convenience and the features they have. I think that making a worksheet on the app I use now would be difficult. However, this week I just wanted to mess around and work on blending things in by increasing shadows and messing with contrast. This is what I made:
One issue I did run into while using free images from Unsplash, I could not remove the watermark, nor was I sure if that would be legal. Either way, I am still pretty proud of this image and I will definitely use photo editing to brighten my student’s days and for worksheets.
See you next week!
