Remove.bg is free tool that will automatically remove the background from a selfie-style image! This allows the user to take a photo and place themselves at any landmark, giving the student the ability to create projects like a mock journal or photo album from a trip. In addition, you can have students write about their experiences through their research, creating postcards and letters as if they were actually there.
