What happens when a Google Certified Teacher takes a job behind the Great Fire Wall? I thought the answer to this would become less ambiguous after a few months in China, but surprisingly the answer's still not so clear. What is definitive is that the blogs I've been using for my various classes for more than a few years are now in a Han Solo-cryogenic state of hibernation.

The evidence of tech integration in my previous classes spoke for itself through my students' sharing of work, ideas, and products. Now, so much of the publishing stage of their work is on internal servers, that I feel the need to document this somewhere. So if in effort to share some of the potentially cool, and not so cool, things going on in my classes, I'll be using this blog (recycled grade 12 site) as a platform of productivity, a professional page, a pyt of a pln, and all sorts of sordid alliteration.

No More Boring Old IB Stuff... Cartooned Assessment Doc!

 

 
So I wasn't liking how this self-reflection doc as looking and decided to spruce it up. I have recently added some pretty cool comic-related fonts to my Mac and was looking for an excuse to use them. 

I had originally appropriated some Hobbes (from Calvin &) images, but decided to open up the Photoshop and create something a little more personal. 

If you've ever used the simple Threshold function you've probably struggled with the lack of control- i.e. a section of your image becomes too black or vice versa. 

Solution! 

- Play with the Threshold until you find "sections" of your image you like
- Copy the individual sections and paste them into a new doc
- Then shove them all together!

Easy- this way my eyes are still clear, my hair a different setting- took these two and pasted them on top of the modified body. 

Took 90 seconds maybe...
