Self Portrait

Today's assignment was to create a self portrait using the application Mr. Picasso Head. This application was really neat and although I am no Pablo Picasso, I think I was able to create a work of art.

This application has enormous potential within the classroom. Within the classroom context, I believe that Mr. Picasso Head could be effectively used in a unit on self image/self esteem/self concept (the way student's view themselves). Also, this is an excellent tool for differentiated instruction as it is beneficial to the kinesthetic/visual learner with a creative/artistic aspect. This factor serves to make the application fun, engaging, and appropriate for student-centered activities.
