If you're interested inig having students work with digital images in a creative way, check out Big Huge Labs' site This site has been approved by the district and restrictions have been removed. There are a variety of programs that students can use to upload photographs and then turn them into creative projects. One that my students have used is called Mosaic. Students first register for free, then they have access to this program to create a mosaic of pictures. Once done, they can download it into their folder on the server. After that, the mosaic can be imported into Microsoft Word where they can use text bubbles to add details. Click here to see an example of one.
