I think the hit of today was the lesson on Google Picasa. Picasa is a software application you would need to install on your computer. It does a variety of things and its all free! One thing it does is organize your photos. When you first access it after installing, it pulls all the pictures from your computer into the Picasa program. It doesn’t move them out of the folders where they are, but it allows you to access them all in the one Picasa screen. You can then label your pics, reorganize, and even “rank” them according to 1-5 stars.
Picasa also has a built-in photo editor where you can remove fuzziness, red eye, and even crop pictures. When you have a folder of pics ready for a project you can make a screensaver, create a photo slide show, print your photos at home, send photos to Google Photo to be professionally printed, upload your pics to your Blogger site or to your Personal Google Home page, or you can create a CD of a picture slide show to share with family and friends.
All of this is for free. All of it is extremely easy to use!
