Can you Picassa?

Wednesday in class we were super busy!  First, there were two web 2.0 presentations, one for Smilebox and another for Picnik.  I feel like I must have been hiding under a rock for like 10 years after hearing all of these presentations and realizing there are some amazing tools to help me use technology I have known nothing about.  
After the presentations, we learned how to use Picassa, and had to complete a lesson loading 5 images onto Picassa from different sources.  There had to be a screen short, a camera short, a web picture, a scanned picture, and a picture pulled from a CD.  This seemed like a very simple task...but no, no, no....have you forgotten who you're dealing with???  The technically inept.
Poor Bill had to deal with half of the class finishing the task in 15 minutes, and the other half (a.k.a. me) wondering which machine in the room was the "scanner."  As you can see, this class is probably going to save my future job in education, and I am very thankful.  Afterwards we worked on the very basic structure of our teaching website.  This, I feel, is going to be an interesting lesson.  So I looks forward to doing more on this subject!  Now....IT'S TIME FOR SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!
