Essentials #7 Posting Pictures

I am very excited about the things I looked at in this essential. I plan on going back often. I really like Pics4learning.com. Wow! There was so much useful stuff. I just started my class doing their first slide show based on a simple exercise they wrote in class. My goal is to put their completed slideshows on my web page. We just started today and it was difficult to find pictures using only google images. Pics4 learning will be another option for them. I also liked the fact that there was lesson plans in there.

I did my slide show of my classroom tour today. I used smilebox.com to do it though because you don't have to resize the pictures which can be time consuming. Plus, smilebox puts it in a creative slideshow with music ( that you pick out). I started to use Picnik but because of time constraints I quit and opted to do smilebox because I had recently learned how to do it and as I said I did not have to resize my photos. It took me a total of 15 min to learn smilebox and i can now whip up a slideshow using pictures from my digital camera in about 5 min. I have other slideshows in my photogallery ( of my class) if anyone wants to check it out.
