This is the self portrait I created using the Picasso Head website. When I began this I thought what a cool site that would be great for elementary students. It would allow them to really work and express themselves. As I worked on creating my portrait I struggled with the shapes because they were specific. I wasn't able to really stretch their shape. I could only make them larger or smaller. This was a specific issue when it came to my hair. I had wanted to make this a realistic looking drawing but it didn't really work out that way. So I decided to embrace it and go with it. I suppose it is somewhat realistic.
As far as the technology standards I feel that this activity would be great for students to express themselves and their creativity. This type of activity best fits under Standard 2-Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, bullet a - design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. This activity could also fit under technology standard 1- Facilitate and Inspire student learning and creativity, bullet a- promote, support and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. I think this activity works with this standard because the students have to utilize the shapes on the website to create their self portrait which requires creativity, innovative thinking and inventiveness.
