Photo-Editing is FUN!

We have used photo-editing websites to manipulate pictures. The pictures have been transformed using various tools to paint, colorize, distort and even clone images. We used Photoshop Express, Pixlr, FotoFlexer, Picnik, Befunky, and Lunapic.

Make a comment and explain which one website you liked best and why. Your response should be a short paragraph using correct grammar.

BLOGS vs WIKIS

These are two new Web 2.0 publishing tools. It is easy to post text, pictures and videos. Even businesses are exploring the use of blogs and wikis for a variety of purposes; from customer service and advertising to employee work spaces. Now that you have experienced both blogs and wikis, describe some of their features.


What websites do you use that are a type of blog or a wiki? If it were possible, how would you use a blog or wiki that you created in school? What subject area would you find it most useful? Why?

Photo-Editing is FUN!

We have used Photoshop Elements to manipulate pictures. The pictures have been transformed using various tools to paint, colorize, distort and even clone images. Most of us do not have this program at home. However, thanks to Web 2.0, there are many new websites that allow us to interact with them. We tried three of them: Photoshop Express, Pixlr and Picnik.

All are free to use. (However, they do charge for an upgraded version, which allows you to save pictures that you have manipulated with some of the advanced functions.)

Write a comment describing how easy or difficult it was to use these websites. Also include some of the features that you used and how your pictures changed with them. Was there one website you particulalry likes and why? How do they compare with the version of PhotoShop we have in school?

Your comment should be at least a paragraph using grade 8 grammar, organization and content.
