Phixr

Phixr was so easy to access.  I signed in using my gmail acount, uploaded a picture and started playing with the features in less than one minute! 

I was able to crop and frame my favorite picture from our character breakfast at Disney last week.

Phixr would allow me to upload the picture to Facebook, but I would have to give it access to my existing pictures on FB, so I did not do that.  It also allows me to upload to Snapfish so I can directly order prints. 


Since working with a single picture was that simple, I thought I would mix it up by uploading ten pictures and test the multiple picture option.  If this is as easy, I can see myself using this program in a science class where students upload and mix pictures from lab experiments as a way to tell the story of the lab.  Don't get me wrong, they would still need to do a formal lab write up as preparation for college, but I could assess their conceptual understanding from hypothesis to conclusion via the photographs.  It was not as easy as I wanted to combine the pictures into a collage, but I still like the idea of creating a photo lab report to accompany a written one.
