‎Snapseed - Photo Editing App
Rating
0.0 stars

Available for both iOS and Android: (copy and paste url into your device browser)
- Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snapseed/id439438619
- Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed&hl=en_CA&gl=US

Snapseed is a free photo-editing app where you can take photos in the app and edit them, or edit photos already in your camera roll.. It includes a large number of preset filters to apply to your photos, but there are also 29 tools you can use to apply precise and fine-tuned effects, such as tune, curves, crop, brush, perspective, HDR scape, vintage, retro lux, portrait, lens blur, frames, vignette, text, and more. You can also save a combination of edits as a particular "look" that you can then easily apply in one tap to other photos.

There are built-in tutorials that quickly show you how to achieve certain looks, from vignettes to vintage postcards. Each one is very short, listing the tools that are used in the tutorial, then going through what you need to do with step-by-step visual examples.

One particularly handy aspect of Snapseed is how easy it is to undo and revise work. At any time, you can undo or change any edits made so far, allowing you to access each edit separately. Then, once you're done with your image, you can share it, open it in another app, export it (creating a copy with permanent changes), or save it, which saves the image along with its edits that you can still undo/change in the future.

Snapshot Writing Strategy
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

A snapshot is a basic technique, yet a tremendous aid to any piece of fiction when implemented correctly. A snapshot is basically a moment in a story where you take a temporarily stop from the plot to describe something specific in a story. Generally this can be used to create suspense or draw strong emotions out of the reader.

If you feel your story is getting a bit dull, but you need to still build up to the plot, use a snapshot! It can also be used when you want to add more emotion, feeling, and realism to a story.

Take a scene from your story that you feel didn't have enough emotional impact, suspense, or realism. Once you have that sentence, expand on it. Try to get down every sense you can think of.. How it made you feel, how it smelled, etc. It should be picture perfect. Depending on what emotion you want to convey will directly impact how you write your snapshot.

Snow/Igloo Project Pre-K
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

For this project, I began by creating a web about "Snow" and where I thought the topic could lead to with the students. Next I started a "Snow" web with the students and had them tell me all that they knew about snow. After that we came up with some questions about snow and what we wanted to learn. From there, I provided some invitations for the students in the classroom to explore and learn from.

This resource evolves from there; from discussing what we can do to stay warm in winter, learning poems and songs, reading books, doing gross and fine motor activities before finally building an igloo.
