Picasa Slide Show

The PICASA assignment was a great idea. I enjoyed doing this project very much. I found Picasa to be a little better at editing than iPhoto; I can straighten and fine tune my photos a little more carefully. I also like the Black & White with a color spotlight option, it is unusual, but interesting.
I can see where, just as with iMovie, how this application could be very fun for students in the upper grades, 4-6, to use. It gives them the power to use their own, fine-tuned media to teach a story or concept, while having fun with technology.

My slide show is about a trip I took to Alaskaland. ( WE refuse to call it Pioneer Park)
My daughter works as a Park Aide there during the summer. This is her first year away from home, at college in Ft. Worth, Texas. She called one day, very homesick, and asked if I would take some pictures of PPland. (what we call it as a joke.) She then asked if I would post them to my Facebook photo album - so she could look and not feel so homesick. She says she looks at them pretty often........
