Picassa

This week we went around UVU and took pictures that we were able to manipulate using picassa.  We then used the pictures to create a collage and story using PowerPoint.

We are learning this because it is another tool that we can incorporate into our classroom.  It is not only a useful tool but a fun tool.  Picassa has always intimidated me.  I never really understood it.  I appreciated this opportunity.  I learned a lot about the cool things I can use the program for.  It will be a great tool that I can show my students.  I really enjoyed the collage.  It was my favorite part about Picassa.

I think it would be a great idea to have the students use picassa to create a collage about themselves for their first assignment as a way for not only me, but their classmates to learn who they are.  I would also like to use the collage assignment for the students to do a collage of their favorite lessons from Health during the semester.  I also think that the students would enjoy using technology to create a fun assignment.
