The search for the perfect photo, reduce, re-size, edit, 72 pixel resolution. Since the evolution of the computer to the internet and the digital camera, illustrator, graphic design explosion. It was really neat the other day in class when we captured as many clip-art and pictures as we could in the Big Box. However, I did have trouble after I captured the clip-art with the image being a bit to small so when capturing all those images, next time I will need to re-size a little larger.
However, it was even neater to utilize Google as an all encompassing program with this blog, email, calendar, documents, internet site, and PICASA!!! Picasa is like a Flicker upload center for all your digital pictures, however, the best thing about it, its in Google! So you have a one stop shop for all your digital technological needs.
It seems basic, but really important to have organization in your photo picture and clip art set up. It takes time and I plan on doing this soon, but organizing your clip arts and photos will save SOOOO much time.
My students may not have an opportunity to capture pictures of their own out of the big box of images, however, with parental permission setting up a Picasa of their own I feel would be a great way for students to start their own creative processes. Organizing themselves early on so that when they do see a picture on the web, in clip art, or they take themselves they will be able to grab it anytime and anywhere! I give this project a 3.5 out of five stars.
