Using photography and imagery in the classroom way can be a very stimulating way to get your students excited about a certain learning topic. Starting off a new writing prompt with strong visuals (winter scenes, a rainy day) or showing examples of geometry in the real world are just a couple of examples of how images can help students buy in to what they are learning. There are many great tools available online to help you search for photos and edit them easily.

//__Assignment Description:__// For this assignment, you will be editing or manipulating photos for use with your students. Use any of the web-based photo editing tools (such as Picnik or FotoFlexer), computer-based software (such as Gimp or Photoshop) or other hardware apps (ex: for iPod Touch or iPad) to __**create three new images using different stylistic elements**__.
