• Shape Collage - Free Automatic Photo Collage Maker

  Shape Collage is a nifty free utility available for PCs, Macs, and Linux. There are limitations to the free version – most notably, you can’t save save & reopen projects (click here for the list of features available in the $25 Pro flavor) – but it’s super easy to use and the results are fantastic. Highly intuitive, the menus are simple to navigate, featuring clear options incorporated into a well laid-out workspace. It just feels natural, encouraging you to try different settings to see the result. This YouTube video does a terrific job explaining the program and its features. It’s absolutely worth the download to explore for yourself.

• Admongo.gov

  a game and curriculum designed to educate preteen students about the forms and methods of advertising. Admongo's primary feature is a game in which students earn points by collecting advertisements as they move through a fictional city. As they advance through the game, students will see short videos that explain the type of advertisements they see and how those advertisements attempt to get them to take an action. Watch the video below to learn more.
  Applications for Education
  Admongo provides a curriculum for teachers to use with 5th and 6th grade students. The curriculum is designed to complement the lessons students learn by playing the game. On the Admongo curriculum page teachers will find posters, handouts, quizzes and other printable materials to use in their classrooms.
