Helps, Week 2

This week I finished my website, and am actually really impressed at how cool it is that I created a website. I mean, a blog is a website, but this is one with pages and different things and lots of information - so cool. I will definitely be using this "make your own website" feature for my own classroom.

As far as creating went, everything was pretty easy. The hardest part was the calendar - I learned that you can attach the calendar easily enough, but it won't work unless you have events scheduled into your calendar. Good thing to know.

For my optional add-in, I did a Picnik-ed photo collage of recent pictures of me. I don't ever get just my photo taken, so that was kind of boring that all the pictures are of me and my husband, but its okay. I love picnik so much - when I take pictures for people I typically do most of my editing there because it is so easy and so nice! For all of my pictures I use the Levels tool to get the lighting right - enough darks and lights. I also use a mixture of Ortonish, Cross Process, and Vignette-ing to make the pictures look the way I want them too. I also love the new seasonal features they put up - makes doing photos SO much fun and really easy.

Basically its been a good technological week!
