Picasa, Pixlr, and Glogster

This week in class we completed a scavenger hunt. On Tuesday we ventured outside to find pictures of things on campus that started with the letters A-L. It proved to be harder than expected to find objects that matched the letters. Once we had all our pictures, we uploaded them to Dropbox. This was my first experience with Dropbox, but it uploaded instantly, and from there the pictures were shared to all three of us. From Dropbox, we uploaded our pictures to Picasa through Google. In Google we put them in the correct order and placed captions below each picture. 

As far as Web 2.0 tools go, this week we were introduced to Pixlr and Glogster. I found both of these tools to be useful in their own ways. In fact, Tuesday night I made a birthday card for my friend using Pixlr. I chose the collage option and went from there. Below is a picture of that birthday card.

Here is an image of part of my Glogster page in its unfinished form:

 

I decided to focus on subjects and predicates by first picking the Schoolhouse Rock movie "Mr. Mortin". Glogster allows you to add videos, text, and music to a page in order to enhance an idea. The layout can be moved around to make it look how you want to.
