Self Portrait

I developed my self portrait on Picassohead. Here's what I look like on this Tuesday morning:


My self portrait can also be viewed in the Picassohead gallery here.

I found Picassohead to be very easy to use. It was also a lot of fun. The limited number of tools and the specific list of features that you can add to your portrait (ears, lips, eyes, etc.) make this a very accessible and user-friendly website. I'm going to have my 10 year-old spend some time on the site later this morning - it will be interesting to see what he comes up with and how long it takes him to figure things out.

Relationship to Standards: The self portrait exercise relates well to the following standards: 1(a) - the activity promotes, supports, and models creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness; 2(a) - the activity is a relevant learning experience that incorporates digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity; 2(c) - the activity can be used to personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles and abilities to use digital tools and resources.
