PTP - Picasa

Hey all!

So I decided to do part of my PTP with Picasa. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE this source! It is SOOO easy to organize and edit your photos. I will probably use it in my future cooking classes to not only show cooking strategies but also to have my students share their cooking. These could be for missed assignments or projects.

Questions:

What edits did you make to the photo, and how did the edits make the image better for your teaching purposes?

• For the photo, I auto-edited the photo and cropped it down. I then put a border and text on the picture. For the presentation, I added the arrows for one of the pictures. It is beneficial for teaching purposes to point out specific points in the picture. You can also crop the photo to isolate a specific portion.
  

How would you use the image you edited in your instruction?

• As stated above, I can point out specific parts of cooking or sewing. Another thing I can do is crop to isolate a specific function.
  

How would you use the presentation you created in your classroom?

• The presentation will be perfect for those who miss class or to watch before class to save time.
  

What other instructional problems could you use this technology for?

• Students who miss class can prove their actual recreation of food by using this. Or it can be used for projects.
  

What are 2-3 activities you could use this technology for in your own teaching?

• Presentations
• Online instruction
• Projects
  

List the instructional standards these activities will meet.

• To show clear representation
  
• To have back-ups for substitutes
  

Thanks!!
