Digital Tool : Re-sizing and Editing Photographs

Following our tutorial this week I thought the Paint.Net website would be a great tool to use in the classroom to help Primary school students to immerse themselves in history lessons (see image). It could also be used to support English students to create images for both descriptive and persuasive prose. 

I actually found the Paint.Net site to be challenging in regards to importing and manipulating the layers. I then went on to investigate various Apps on my mobile phone and did the composite image below on the free App "Superimpose". This exercise highlighted to me the advantage of a mobile phone or Apple compatible device in the classroom as there was a far greater variety of choices available, and the tools seemed easier to use. Once image is "layered" it is saved to photo library and can be emailed to any computer.
