Self Portrait

     In this activity, I used Picassohead to create a self portrait.  I used the snipping tool to display my creation here in my blog.  Luckily, I found this activity fairly simple although I did not realize I should use the snipping tool until I read some posts in the discussion board.  Originally I saved my portrait by emailing it to myself.  This didn't work of course.
     This would be an awesome place for students to make a self portrait.  Especially at the beginning of school, students could create their portrait and write about themselves.  I am thinking about showing my PreK class my self portrait on the Smartboard and then letting a few of them try to create their own.  They are pretty good at dragging icons, so with some guidance it could work. 
   ISTE standard #1 Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity would be addressed using Picassohead.  Standard #2 Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments would also go along with this activity.
