Photo taking is
becoming a habit for many people since it is readily available on
mobile phones. Most people like photos as we are living in the
“selfie era”. Teachers and students too are part and parcel of
today's society.
Now
when it comes to class, both teachers and students would like to
change some aspects of the photo. They need an open source program
which is not difficult to learn yet it makes it possible to
manipulate photos according to their educational needs.
A
picture says a million words somebody said one day. They
are a wonderful tool in the classroom. An example would be that of a
conversation starter or else to help students write in a different
way ie a series of photos from different angles of the same object
would help them to avoid repeating the same ideas or sentences. A
photo of a strange animal or plant would obviously break down any
misunderstanding and would help the teacher immensely. A photo can
help the students understand people of far away countries together
with their lives, culture and experiences.
Teachers
do understand that most resources did not originate from educational
spheres so it's understandable the need to tune them in to
educational needs. Hence image manipulation comes in very handy.
