Mendi Benigni

Hi my name is Kayla Tripp and i am job shadowing Mrs. Mendi Benigni. I am in the 7th grade. And i go to West Ashley Middle School. Or for all you adults out there (The Old Middleton.)
I was helping her look at a few softwares. One that i recommend is Tech4Learning.
You can chose from five different things to use (frames, image-blender, pixie 2, twist, and web-blender.)
I used Frames. I think anybody could use it. It could work for a quick commercial or advertisement, or a movie for your teaching. Even if you like doing something for fun. Also if you can’t find something you want on the program or they don’t have it. There is a way to search the thing you want from you computer.

From Mendi – to go further with this, Tech4Learning also has a great copyright-friendly image/clip art repository. It’s very K12 oriented.  Check it out at Pics4Learning.com!

Life magazine has launched an amazing photo archive of over 10 million photos.  The archive is hosted by Google and has all the same features as the Google Image Search.  The photos range from the 1750s to today with new photos being added daily.  The other cool thing is that 97% of the collection has never been seen by the public.

These photos would be a great addition to your presentations and to student work!  Their professional quality and because it’s from LIFE they are authentic and historically valuable.

So now you’re saying, “This sounds great Mendi!  How do I find these images?” Well it’s easy.  You can either go to http://images.google.com/hosted/life or an easier URL is http://www.life.com/Life/ or in your Google Image Search just end your search string with source:life.

Now go forth and get yourself some great images!
