Eric Curts - Pixel Art and Jamboard
"Pixel Art" is making images out of a small grid with a limited number of colors. As with any creative activity, pixel art can have many applications for education. What will you and your students create with Pixel Art?
Rainbow scratch-off paper in Jamboard is a fun way to create pictures or write words. Eric created a dozen templates with a different rainbow pattern on each template. Eric says, "It is a fun way to be creative and is motivating to discover the colorful pattern underneath."
