Image courtesy of istock.com member pamspixI resized these photo's using a free download from the internet called FastStone Photo Resizer 3.0. I transfered these images into a jpg to make them more use able over the internet. This program was extremely easy to use, and I feel that even children from a young age would be able to use it. I found these pictures from a free photo website where the photo's are free from copyright. This site was called istock photo.
I feel that the photo's I chose could be used to provide an understanding of Australia's Aboriginal Culture. These pictures could be used a a range of different ways in the classroom. for example the "Hand painting" one could be used as a introduction to an Aboriginal art unit. The others might be useful for a introduction for a story writing activity. There are a million different ways that images can be used in the classroom to engage learners. The invaluable qualities of images never ceases to amaze me.
Hi Kate.
ReplyDeleteFaststone Photo Resizer is so handy as I find I'm always trying to resize images for different purposes and this program makes it so easy. I also love the images you have chosen as they could be used for so many different topics like art, culture, music, personal identity, Australia... especially the one of the child. This image could spark so much discussion. It's great that there's so many images available to us out there.
