Digital Images

This is a slide show of photos that I learned to edit in Tech 486. We created an album with four different types of images. One picture from the internet, one scanned picture, on personal picture from our digital camera and one clipart picture. This assignment was very practical and I learned all about Picasa through Google. This is a great way for your pictures to come along with you wherever you go technologically. My computer actually just crashed and I lost all my pictures. I will most likely be keeping track of my photos through Picasa now because they will be guaranteed to be in a safe place.
This is also a great thing for the classroom because if you can create digital image slideshows for a lesson that can illustrate different concepts. For example, if you are teaching a history lesson, you could make a digital image slideshow to show pictures of historical landmarks or people. Another great aspect of digital image slideshows is that they really cater to visual learners. A huge majority of children are visual learners and this can be a great reinforcing tool for these children.
