As teachers, we frequently find us in need of making interesting pictures, no matter in powerpoints used in classes or in handouts, to help students keep being interested and focusing in class. However, other than powerpoints, we don't actually have much of option to manipulate pictures. Now I have found a new method to do so: 'Makeuseof'.
'Makeuseof' is a website that helps people to create comic strips out of their own photographs; enhance photo effects; add speech bubbles and text; and embed ready comics onto blogs or social networking profiles.
To do so, it is fairly simple. All you need to do is register on their website: makeuseof.com; and start editing your photos as you like. There are many projects that are very interesting for teachers to do with the help with the website and present in class. For example: the teachers may keep the habit of taking pictures of their students when they are taking apart in course activities and presentations. At the end of the class, the teacher may choose one picture about each student and make all the photos into comics or video clips and present it to the students. Maybe the teacher can even post the video on websites, like 'youtube', so the parents of the teachers may appreciate it together with the students.
To sum up, this new website: 'Makeuseof' is able to help teachers to edit photographs, make comics, and even make video clips. Therefore, it can be great help for teachers to keep their classrooms interesting by presenting funny pictures.
