When you have the photos you need, use PhotoSuite to crop, resize or edit them and then add text or special effects until they're just right. Once you've created your materials, you can print them as paper handouts, overhead transparencies or just present them directly on the computer. You can even create materials for students to work with on their own in comprehension exercises, color and design units or just for fun. Using scanned pictures or images found on the Internet or on the PhotoSuite content CD, children can assemble collages quickly and easily by dragging and dropping the shots they want. Smaller children will need help with this.
Scanners are a great way to capture photos and even artwork quickly and easily.
If the object is too big to properly close the scanner cover, just use a towel or blanket instead. Older students will enjoy doing these experiments themselves, while younger children can either watch as you do it, or view pictures you've already altered. VideoWave 4 Students at this level probably won't be making many videos, but it's a great age to introduce the concepts of video creation and how this medium works from camera to computer to monitor. Bring a video camera along on class outings or just shoot everyday activities in the school. VideoWave makes it easy to edit out the shaky, unfocused or poorly exposed portions to create a video year book.
