Picassa

What?


Today we talked about using Picasa on the desk top and off the Internet. Initially I couldn't down load pictures onto Picasa, because my computer wouldn't allow the download. But then I was able to download pictures I searched from google image, drag them to my desktop and then I was able to down load them that way. It is great that is is free and gives you all of the options to create and keep images and pictures so efficiently.


So What?

By learning to use Picasa I will be able to take this knowledge into the classroom, and be able to create interesting projects with my students. I will be able take pictures and store them in a safe protected program, that will allow me to use them whenever I choose. This will help me keep my costs down, and allow me to still be creative and have options.

Then What?

I know this will be a great asset for me to use in the future. I will definitely enjoy using it to create classroom collages, and also taking pictures to record progress by my students. I think it will be fun to allow my students the opportunity to create projects also, and have that experience. This seems like a wonderful tool to use in the classroom but also to use anytime.
