Thing 5- Mash Up

Honestly...this Mash Up assignment was more fun than expected! I am amazed at how many creative, interesting, and useful web applications are available. It was a hard decision between the crossword puzzle, the billboard, and the movie poster. One day, I will use the others, but for now, the movie poster most intrigued me.

Throughout the school year, I take pictures of my students in all of their band events and short movies of them rehearsing or performing. I put together a movie presentation of the year, which is shown at the end of the spring concert. The movie poster is an intriguing way to remind students and parents of the spring concert, as opposed to the uninteresting Word document. You may be wondering, 'Why the t-shirt?" That is the t-shirt that all the band students wear to the concert. Using the t-shirt in the poster will really catch their attention!

The are so many other uses for photo mash up, especially in my personal life. For instance, the cartoon captions placed above people's head in a picture could be used as an invitation to a party. The crossword puzzle would be fun to create for family and friends using topics of interest to them. The Framer is good for accentuating photos. Furthermore, the calendar creation gives personalization to a calendar using photos related to their lives. I am so impressed with the endless ideas, but for now, I'll need to move onto Thing 6.
