Putting the Picture Together

The last week in class we did a lot of work with photoshop. I have definitely have worked with photoship before, especially in high school back when I was on a newspaper and had to do layout.
The assignment in our class was to take a picture off the internet, scan a photo, and take a photo of our own and put them together into one believable picture. I took a background picture off flickr.com of a park bench with a statue on it. I perched a friend of mine on top of the statue by take a picture, cutting it out on photoshop and putting it in. I finished off by scanning a bird and put it in there, as well as some text.
I think that it's really helpful for students to have basic knowledge of photoshop, and it would be a fun way to put pictures of your class in history, or inside a book. it could really brighten up the room and keep it interesting. I think that it would be a good way of getting kids excited and really using technology to my advantage.
