Emerging Technology #1 Photo Share

           The first emerging technology I chose to explore is Photovisi, a photo-sharing site located at http://www.photovisi.com (I've posted a link in my favorite sites). Unlike most sites and services that provide picture sharing on the web, Photovisi lets you create different types of collages to share. I had used other Internet photo services in the past, but never Photovisi. I found it to be fun and very easy to use. When you first visit the site, you chose a collage style from a variety of choices. After that, you simply choose your pictures from your computer or a webcam and it puts them on the collage for you. After all the pictures are on, you can move them and/or size them differently if you don’t like the way it looks. Then hit download, type in your email, and you’re done. Afterwards, you can send your collage to Facebook, My Space, and anywhere else you want too. Very easy! I didn’t have any problems at all with this and I’m glad I explored it. As a teacher, I think that Photovisi could be used in the classroom as a fun activity. Each child could bring a picture of themselves into class and the teacher could make a collage of all of them. This would be a visual aid of one of the many uses of computers. This would also allow them to see pictures of their fellow students. So take a look at all the cool options Photovisi has and create your own unique collage!
