It is a necessary tool to be able to use as it allows you to reduce the file size of an image so it can be stored in other places such as blogs, wikis and moodle. Learners will get a lot of use from knowing how to resize an image as they can use the class digital camera to document learning journeys such as experiments or excursions and then reflect by examining the images providing opportunities for substantive conversations to take place. (as discussed in the 120p reading from week 5) The students can then use their own images which they have ownership of (DoL) that will help to deepen their understanding (productive pedagogies)
