Digital Images...

There are so many ways to use and store digital images both in the computer and on the web. I discovered that pictures can be either lossy or lossless, which deals with how much informtaion is kept on the specific image. Also, PNG, JPEG, ans GIF are the formats most often used on the web, due to their size and clarity. We also got to use Picasa in order to remove red eyes from a cat. It was so interesting to see how we can use this program in our everyday classrooms.

Next, we spent time understanding how to use this new website, Kerpoof, where we can make a picture, draw, and make movies. It was incredible! I want to use this in my classroom, and I can't wait to show my students!
