Thing 13: Media Skills

Did I mention how much fun this lesson was?  I had a great time exploring some sites that I had previously not used including Ribbet.com.  It was super easy and I can see that my students would be easily able to use it to modify their own photos.  One drawback is the ton of ads on the site, but honestly, I didn't even create an account.  I just uploaded a photo and worked away and could save it easily to my computer.  It took me about 5 minutes to fix up this lovely picture of my best friend Bella. 

I cropped, added the border, embellished the color, added the text, and faded the edges.  I really loved the simplicity of Ribbet and will definitely have my students use it ... I'm just not sure how yet!
