Resources for a Jigsaw Classroom Project
In the course of the Jigsaw making project the student need to have reference material from which to learn the basics of digital preparation for their images. There is also Photoshop 4 Kids here at Blogger, but I wanted to list other software programs that class members may wish to acces to cut, crop, resize and clean an image.
At first this will seem like a laborious process but after a while you will see that a library is growing day by day. We call this emerging through a collaborative project. As the resources grow I will begin reference lists and this will make the process easier. For now......

What is Photoshops Elements?
Photoshop Elements is a light weight version of Photoshop. It is ideal for student use - not too complicated but certainly adequate for the needs of this project.
Photoshop Elements is not free software. I gave set this out in the context of the major project because some teachers may be lucky enough to have Photoshop Elements on the laptops students are using and some students may have the program on their computers at home.
You can download a free trial here, but remember in essence it is not free and so getting used to a software program that you cannot afford for the class is not recommended. I have been lucky enough to work in schools with this programme from time to time. So - best of luck!
Calf Sucking Jigsaw Puzzle
In the article Co-Contributory Paradigm of an eCLISP I talk about developing resources in the context of an eCLISP. This is a project within a Community of Learning Inquiry and Studio Practice. Gradually we are gathering the resources together so that a Hybrid Reference Centre emerges from the project based learning strategies that take place.
When designing Hybrid Reference Centres you will find that certain providers come to the top of the list time and time again. Half tongue in cheek, I joke that Cream Rises and link to a jigsaw I have created Calf Sucking Jigsaw Puzzle.
