[|Pic Lits]



PicLits.com is a great resource online for educators to use to really grab student's attention! It allows you to upload (such as the one above) or use the variety of pictures they have on their site and carefully select or type keywords that you want to highlight. This can be used instead of a regular power point presentation and offers great leniency to what you are presenting. Not only can this be used for educators, but for students as well. This gives them the same opportunities as teachers, and allows them to use a new/ exciting resource.

In order to use the site, you must make an account, like any site. Then pick a picture, or upload your own, and then proceed to pick the words you want to use. They give options between nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs and universal (ex: a, to, home, etc...) or free style. Then saving, sending/sharing, are options to finally but it to good use!

I would use this resource to have a picture that students must write a fact or give information about from the words Ive chosen to show. For example, the picture above. Students could write: Rome, the Colosseum, used for entertainment, chariot races, gladiators and any other ideas that go with this picture. Although I would have to have access to a white board or computers students can access. In class this can be a fun way to collaborate notes together and really get the essence of the pictures (the main goal of the website).
