Collage Machine 1.0. Some of you no doubt have fond memories of getting out various newspapers, magazines, old art books, and other such materials and creating their own collages on a dreary Saturday morning that seemed to call out for such an indoors activity. While there might not be the same visceral feeling with this online collage machine, it is still definitely worth a visit. Presented with a blank work screen, visitors can peruse the collection of objects offered here, and then drag them onto their workspace. After doing so, the images can be cut up and manipulated in a variety of ways. Some of the objects include a butterfly, a menacing shark, a puppy, traffic signs, a picture window, and a daunting iceberg. As one might imagine, the pedagogical possibilities of such a site are quite interesting and may prove useful in a classroom setting. Source: Scout Report.
