Photovisi for a Spanish Classroom

Hola clase!

After thoroughly examining a number of Web 2.0 tools that are offered, I chose Photovisi to create my collage promoting its use. I began using Picasa but I found it rather complicated, so I continued my search for an easier tool until I found Photovisi. It was very easy to find a template for my collage and also to add items such as text and pictures.

I found Photovisi extremely easy and fun to use when creating posters or collages. I would definitely use this collage maker to create beautiful, “eye candy” posters to enhance learning in my future Spanish classrooms.  I also believe this could be a powerful tool for my students when they have to do presentations. They would be able to make a poster electronically and display it during their presentation using a smart board, instead of having to do it by hand. I feel students would find this much more convenient and fun.

My poster is aimed at two different audiences, teachers and students.  It shows teachers how useful a tool like Photovisi can be, and how they can use it to enhance their classroom and provide information to their students.  I did this through the use of a colorful display and cultural significant pictures to Spanish speaking countries.  I also included a map of South America which can help students learn geography.  The poster not only shows students this information, but helps bring the classroom some color and excitement.  It would also show them that I care about having a fun learning environment.
