Thank you so much for joining my workshop MOTIVATE, MANIPULATE AND MASH. I hope you will leave with many practical ideas to take back to your classroom.

 

Here is a video which captures how we use the iPads in the art room from app mashing, manipulating, reflecting, presenting, analyzing, peer feedback, to stop motion.

The creative possibilities are endless!

THE BASIC STEPS

Wordfoto can be used by itself but by introducing manipulation and editing apps you are allowing the students to be creative whilst helping them analyze and apply their knowledge. By REMIXING– copying and transforming images you are able to “legally steal” from the Internet based on the law of fair use.

FAIR USE

If in doubt then the BEST “legal image source” I have found is: CREATIVE COMMONS and the easiest way to attribute images is with the attribution helper.
