Today we broke up into teams, and googled photo eiting software.
Rosa and I picked pixer.us.
Pixer.us does not require a log- on or user account. Pixer is only for editing photos, so it also does not store your photos.
Use the "browse" botton to choose a photo from your file, then press "upload & edit". Choose the editing option, such as "crop", and edit your photo. When you are ready press "apply". You must save your changes, by clicking on "save", and the file format option will come up. The file is saved to the same location you retrieved it from, except with a new file name "myphoto-1".
The plus side is you can keep your privacy, by not storing your photos on line. The down side is, you cannot create slides, movies, collages, or save your photos on line for convenient access.
I would rate this photo editing software a 7, because it was a little difficult to learn, but I like that I did not need an account for accessing the software.

Flickr Badge
Today, we worked on uploading our photos into flickr.com, and created a badge to post on our blog. Add a gadget, >> HTML, title, and copy the HTML info from the flickr site.
I would use this in my class, if we had a class blog, to showcase my students' work. Parents would be able to see what their kids did in class. Also, I could post photos of projects and fieldtrips, as evidence of learning...

Zoho Writer Collaboration_comments
1. Explain the assignment:
The assignment today was to try new collaborative software, called Zoho. Our team used the Zoho writer, to create a student related activity.
2. How easy or difficult was hte project?
Basically the writer is like the word perfect, but we were able to share the writing, taking turns to post the next lines in the story. We just started out with a typical story that any child might know, and each of us took a turn to write our version of the events that might have occured in the story. It was fun to see and share, the writing as we went along. It was not htat easy though, we had alot of obsticles.
3. how would my students benefit from this project?
I think I would use this tool, in the classroom for the same kind of idea, to have the students collaborate on a story, each adding their own ideas.
4. How would I rate the software, on a scale of 1-10?
I rate the software a 5. Compared to bubbl software, we did more collaborating. I initiated the story, and shared with Connie and Rose. They could edit, and see and share their pieces, but to view the new documant I would have to sign off, and log on again. So it was not a continuous process, for me.
