    I really like this website too. I think that videos are a great way to demonstrate different topics in a memorable way. I have always found videos to be useful to help me to understand different concepts. It is hard to learn something just by hearing about it or reading about it. Videos can make a concept real.

    This website is used to create collages out of photos. It can be used to create instructional collages and collages of student photos from class activities or even photos of student artwork. This can be very useful in a classroom that doesn't have a lot of room, because a lot of pictures can be displayed in a small amount of space. This really works great for displaying artwork, because finding a space to display twenty or even thirty pieces of art is hard, and if all students aren't included then someone may feel left out, or that their artwork wasn't good enough to be displayed.
    There are no paid subscription options for this website, but there are multiple items that can be purchased with your collage on them. There are things like posters and mouse pads that can be used in the classroom, and things like coffee mugs that can be given as teachers gifts or even to a classroom volunteer. This is not a child-directed tool and should be used by the teacher to create things to be used by the children in class.
    This tool can be used with any age group, but would probably be more useful in preschool and elementary classrooms where artwork is used more abundantly in the classroom. Teachers at higher levels do not use as much artwork on the walls.
