Week 7 Reflection

Picasa

It's funny because I was just telling my husband that I needed some kind of program to edit my pictures, write text on them, and just make them look cool. And then in class we learned about Picasa! I love it, it's so user friendly, I've already downloaded it (for free) to my home computer and am now importing all of my pictures onto it.

I think Picasa would be a great tool to use in the classroom.
Students can create sideshows, time lines, picture collages. It's simple to use, so students can learn how to crop, edit and add effects to photos they have taken with digital cameras. Students can also create a web album, with all of their photos in one place.

I'm excited to play around with Picasa a little more and become more familiar with it. I've already been having a lot of fun with my pictures! There really is an endless amount of projects that I can think of doing with this awesome program!

Here are some of my creations...
