Picture perfect

This week I learned about digital imaging and photo editing. In digital imaging I worked with pictures from my digital camera as well as from the internet. I learned how to put borders and shading on pictures in a Word document and how I could use them in a real lesson. I found putting borders on pictures to be such a simple thing that can make a student or teacher presentation look more professional. I like the fact that when students are asked to take their own pictures with a digital camera they have to rely on them selves instead of the internet. To learn photo editing I had to choose videos to watch about topics I did not know. One new thing I learned was how to use i-photo on MACS. It worked a lot like Photoshop, which I am very familiar with, but it was nice to get the experience with both types of computers. I can see a lot of uses for photo editing in a classroom, especially when it comes to presentations and slideshows.
