Week #4 Assignment #3
Image resizing
This was an interesting task simply because I am That Person who used to just collapse the picture by shrinking the sides thinking I was clever. Uploading my images to Flickr was quite fun as was exploring that site. Following the Technical Manual as to the ins and outs of resizing was of course integral and the finished product is below for your viewing pleasure. The use of Digital Images in my future classroom will serve many purposes. First, when introducing a new text, play or general idea, having an image that supports that up on the IWB can set the tone of the lesson and what you are trying to achieve. In addition, showing my students -for example- the Theatre on the Round and examining what Shakespeare was thinking when devising that theatre, they can see the benefits of his genius. On a less specific vein, images are used to set tone, the bring out emotion in people (as so demonstrated by the Vietnam photo in Wednesday's class) and gauge your learners perhaps. All of this is made easier with the ability to shrink the megapixels of images reduce their downloading time. Making better use of time in the classroom is always key because when things take too long (even exciting downloads!!) you can lose your audience!

This is a photo of my best friend and my daughter but it's also on Flickr so I've given credit where it's due
Image Manipulation
Playing around on my newly created Flickr account was also fun. It is just amazing to me what one can achieve with a few clicks of a mouse! In addition to the reduction of megapixels now having the ability to play with colour, age and even alter the images is just so cool!! Classroom activities, reporting and projects can all be enhanced by the usage of these new tools!
The images used on this site are of my children and I have approved their usage.

Podcasting
The idea of Podcasting in my future classroom definitely has a spot. It was fun and a cool form of self expression that students would really enjoy especially when prepping for a play, or performance.

This has been an enjoyable and hard week but I can honestly say I did give all the tasks a go, but some did not work so I have not included them. I wanted to be complete but I also want to be on time.
Enjoy Cheers Marsha
