Week Seven - Last Week!

I hope you have all had fun during the past few weeks and that you have taken something useful away from this class. I know some of you have missed a session or two and if you'd like to do some make up time I can try to work that in for you at a convenient time. We'll talk about that during class this week.

As for tonight, Jan D. has a question about Facebook "sharing" and RSS feeds. We'll talk briefly about that. I know the question of files and folder management has come up a couple of times and we'll talk about that for a few minutes. I'd also like to show you a tool called "Smilebox" that is lots of fun to use with your pictures. And, you will have to fill out a class evaluation which will help the high school students prepare for future classes.

Other than that, you are welcome to ask questions and work on whatever you would like to do tonight! It's been a lot of fun working with all of you and I look forward to doing a similar class again sometime!

Week Six

Last week it was just Doug and Sue, so we worked on picture downloads and edits.  We downloaded Picasa to Doug's computer and worked with the files and folders they have arranged there. I will have more information on Picasa and other possible picture editing software tonight.

Since many of you were not there, we will go as planned from week four.  And, if any of you would like a "make up" class, I can arrange to do that at some point either meeting with you individually or in a small group.  I want to make sure you get as much information as you hoped to gain from the class.

Please let me know what you want for next week!  It will be our last week together!
