You might find at times you need to modify the size of a picture.
I find Picnik a really easy tool to do this with - From their site:
Picnik makes your photos fabulous with easy to use yet powerful editing tools. Tweak to your heart’s content, then get creative with oodles of effects, fonts, shapes, and frames.
- Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux
- No download required, nothing to install
Imgur - which allows you to edit your photo's size and then produces a url to share with others. Quite quick and easy if you want to share! It gives Html links and ability to email the photo too :-)
My son is in front of the football :-)
I will add to this post as the week goes on but these two tools are worth checking out if you need to resize images.
As I have students that email and post work online these tools allow their images to be smaller and therefore upload time is less. And my inbox doesn't tell me it's full as often.
My technologies for the week: Picnik, Quizlet, Blogger, Youtube and VoiceThread

Hi Kristy,
ReplyDeleteI'll give this a go when I get home tonight.
Have you had any luck creating staic pages in blogger? I gave up and switched to wordpress for the static pages and the ability to upload docs and pdfs.

Hey Bill, Haven't tried static with Blogger. I guess I didn't care too much about it with this blog. I quite like edublogs for all it's features but I like blogger's ability to be able to sent things to from another site like slideshare.
ReplyDeleteI started a blog for my class this week with blogger but are seriously thinking that edublogs would have been better.
Here is a trial blog I ran last year with some year 8s in Edublogs

Tried to do it in Janison this year but its features are dinosaurs. Students don't even get notified when you leave a comment :-(.
Hope you like the site. I haven't had much time lately to look around.
