I would brainstorm with students ahead of time a list of search terms and write them on the board or on an anchor chart to reference. If for whatever reason, the stickers are not available to you, you can accomplish the same effects by using the web image tool and searching for “png” images or using the clip tool. This works well if you are tying your project into a study of patterns. If students want to reuse the same sticker over and over again they can either double touch it and pick “duplicate” or go back into the sticker menu and add it again. I had students plan on the graphic organizers in the packet then use Pic Collage to make each design come to life.ĭesign an Ugly Christmas Sweater on the iPad: Quick Tips Part of the project based learning activity has students plan specific sweater ideas and motifs. If students are not using the image as the background, they will occasionally need to double touch the sweater and choose “Send to Back” to move it. Having the sweater image “set as background” helps lock it down. Just like clips, stickers can be pinched to resize and dragged around the canvas. Students can touch on up to 20 stickers then the check to add them to the sweater.

Next students touch the plus sign and select stickers. Design an Ugly Christmas Sweater on the iPad: Add Stickers Since we were creating our sweaters as companions to Digital Divide and Conquer’s excellent project based learning ugly sweater activity, we left the selfie off this time. Students can opt to use the in-app camera to take a selfie then trim it (similar to the steps for creating a reindeer selfie) to make it look like they are wearing the sweater or you could have them pinch and stretch the sweater to fit the canvas. Have students choose a sweater that is facing forward and preferably does not have a person wearing it! However, I kept my background white to help the sweater design really pop. png term will show mostly transparent images, which will look great layered over a background. I searched “red sweater,” “green sweater” and “white sweater” for the examples in this post. Next, have students web search “sweater png” or put a color in front of sweater to narrow down the choices.

Students should open the Pic Collage app and select to create a freestyle template. Design an Ugly Christmas Sweater on the iPad: Find a sweater. That is what I did for the images shown in this post. However, if you use a shared classroom email account, you can use that to access the free packs that are available on the regular Pic Collage too. I recommend Pic Collage Kids if you do have iPads since the sticker packs are all free.
