This week’s tasks were to download ‘MobiPhoto’ onto our usb stick. This program allowed me to resize two photos from my computer. This then makes it easier to upload photos quicker onto other programs, such as flickr or any social network site. This would be good and teachers to use when wanting to upload activity photos onto a schools website or the class blog. I uploaded them onto a ‘Flickr’ account which I found easy to use and the directions were easy to understand. I have made my ‘Flickr’ account public with my user name being ‘Terese.’. The fullstop after my name is supposed to be there.

‘Picnik’ was then used to photo shop a photo.  I just chose a demo photo as I have been having trouble with my internet access at home. Bad weather and satellite internet do not work well together. The photo I chose was of the leaves on the tree, which I was able to crop until only the leaf was in the picture, and change it from a pale green to the vibrant green of summer and back to an autumn gold. The extra features on this program also made this an easy program to use. These programs would be good for my students as an art project or maybe to see how they see themselves.

Through ‘Moviemaker’ I created a movie of my photos. These were photos were from a ship heading into Sydney Harbour. After adding music and a checking out the different effects I felt confident that this was a relatively easy elearning technology to use.
