VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION

selected resource? 2
Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.
While I feel the product is great for graphics that dont require students to have more expensive programs like photoshop, it can
be limiting because of this, and I would not require or expect students to have to buy images so that they can use them on this
site. I am not sure that this could completely transform the lesson. It does however give students a great way to present
themselves graphically without having to spend a lot of time and money on softwares specifically dedicated to graphical images.
