The last day before winter break a student shared how they were manipulating photos with Microsoft Paint. My response, “There is a FREE On-line Website which works similar to Photoshop.” I shared the Pixlr website ink with the student. This site comes in handy when I’m at school where Adobe Photoshop isn’t installed on my district supplied laptop. I use the Pixlr site to manipulate pictures or create original clipart. Following is a list of ideas to integrate Pixlr Editor into the classroom.
Ways to Use the Pixlr Editor In the Classroom

- Google Slide Backgrounds
