Day+22


 * Tasks for today: **
 * 1) iGoogle - Current Events
 * 2) Other Google products
 * 3) Atomic Learning
 * 4) Picassa Web Albums
 * 5) Garage Band
 * 6) Polish your wiki profile page and Blog (add images, including your collage, to both)

iGoogle homepage - Check your RSS feeds. We will take a few minutes to discuss any interesting articles. Find a current event to share first and then you may read your jokes.

Once you have your topic, explore one Google application we have not looked into this quarter. Be prepared to discuss it in class.



Click here to go to Atomic Learning for tutorials on Photoshop. (username: AISD) - remember, only ten of us may use this at a time. Log out when you are done.

Take a look at the offerings and watch one or two videos. Be prepared to share what you find with the class. Any useful tips for us?

When you have finished this, check out Picassa Web Albums. You can sign in with your iGoogle password and login. Our last project will be to create a slide show from photos you upload to Picassa Web Albums and embed it in your blog. Be sure to include at least 5 photos. It is best to edit photos to a reasonable size in Photoshop before you upload them. Otherwise, you will wait a long time for them to upload. Make two blog posts:
 * 1) Embed your Picassa Web Album show in your blog
 * 2) Explain how Picassa Web Albums works to someone who has never seen it in a blog post.
 * 3) NEW! Make a photo slideshow as a thoughtful gift for someone you know. Post it on your wiki profile and dedicate it to them.



If you finish this, have a look at Garageband, please wear your headphones. It is in your applications folder, put it in your dock. Be prepared to share the loop with us. __Post it on your wiki and Blog.__
