This application was so much fun! I just wish I could use a live feed to position my profile to fit the image better. I spent way too much time playing with this application. I also realized my students would have an absolute blast. They love to role-play and manipulate their pictures. With Face in the Hole, they put their photos into the proper spot and they can become a superhero, or a cartoon character. I remember my brother sent my mom a photo of Indianna Jones, just like the photo they have on this application. His face implanted where Harrison Fords was supposed to go. We did not see it at first because the image was seamless but once we did, it was hysterical! Again, to be able to position your image live would work best so you could actually get the correct facial expression for the shot. As far as educational purposes, students can take on the persona of a character in a story. There is a feature for you to download your own character and/or scene, so they could make their own. Especially for their history class, they could become George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. We could also get the art classes involved to work on some graphics that the kids can use for their Language Arts projects. Some of the teachers have the students rewrite fairytales and they could create their own scene and then super impose their face in the image or use the ones already on the website. For instance, I have always wanted to be a Jedi!


Christine,

Okay like you I (we) had way too much fun with FaceintheHole. My son walked in the room as I opened up the program and started to explore, we roared with laughter as we played with the animation tools and took turns making silly pictures of each other.

With my little ones it would be cute for creating a holiday card for parents, or as you suggested downloading your own scenarios maybe of different things we do throughout the school year.

Either way educational or just for fun my son and I had a blast.
