Microsoft's AutoCollage is a must for teachers and students

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Submitted by Fiona Beal</i><br />Nowadays there are so many different things you can do with your photographs. Microsoft AutoCollage is a programme that allows you and your students to get creative with your images and combine them into a single collage. Best, of course, is that it is free. Microsoft Research has really tried to make this programme as simple as possible to use. Basically, you point it to a folder of photos in your My Pictures section and it knits them together to produce an eye catching collage.</span></div><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you would like to see examples, Microsoft Research has a whole folder of AutoCollage photos in Flickr. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/autocollage/">http://www.flickr.com/groups/autocollage/</a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Below is a tutorial video that I found in the UK Partners of Learning YouTube channel. You can see that the opening image is a collage of a number of photos. I think this teacher explains very clearly how to get started with AutoCollage...hope you find it useful. </span></div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1GAUW0wRd4A?rel=0" width="420"></iframe><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">How to use Autollage </span></b><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Here are some step by step instructions on how to use AutoCollage.</span><br /><div id="__ss_12524123" style="width: 425px;"><b style="display: block; margin: 12px 0 4px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal/how-to-use-autocollage" target="_blank" title="How to use Autocollage">How to use Autocollage</a> </b> <iframe frameborder="0" height="355" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/12524123" width="425"></iframe> <br /><div style="padding: 5px 0 12px;">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/thecroaker/death-by-powerpoint" target="_blank">PowerPoint</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/fionabeal" target="_blank">fionabeal</a> </div></div><br /><b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Classroom uses for Autocollage</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /><br />Here are some starting points for classroom ideas for using AutoCollage.
