My latest project involved creating a digital image collection and sharing it with my teacher using Picasa Web Albums. Included were five images from several methods: 1) CD Collection: Big Box of Art, 2) Web (free image)- Google Images, 3) Scanned Image, 4) Digital Camera Shot, and finally 5) Screen Shot of my organization through USB folder.
While the task should have proved simple, I did encounter a couple of problems. I had never used the screen shot technique, and it was much more complicated on my PC than on a Mac. However, I have used all the other listed methods before, so I completed those steps with little complication. I learned that I should look into utilizing more methods when applying images and photos towards my school work and eventual classroom. I also learned to be more careful next time when using free online images; this was due to the fact that a virus warning popped up on my computer when I tried to choose a clip art image in Google Images!
In my future teaching career, I will use images from various sources to brighten up power points and other presentations. Hopefully this will encourage the students to remain engaged in class lessons.
