Weather I will
I have always had a fascination with weather, so I chose to do my slide show on different images of weather. My dad always joked that I would either grow up to become a meteorologist or a storm chaser. My favorite image is the picture I took while driving down Amherst road. I saw this beautiful scene of rain bursting out of a cloud that appeared to be just over downtown Knoxville. So, I pulled over in a parking lot and took a picture. I just love the shot. Also, I love satellite images of weather, and I find the capture screenshot tool extremely useful for taking a picture of satellite images. Now that I have a satellite image tool, and know how to take a screenshot, I will be taking screenshots of weather constantly.
After this activity, I feel confident knowing how to upload various types of images. In addition, I now have had some good experience changing picture sizes to better display for a class or lesson know. hopefully what I have learned from this activity I will get to use in my class. Whether I will be able to have my students use some of these computer applications for personal use still rests on the availability of computers to students in the school. I hope you enjoy my images.

This is a great theme! Good choice!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really appreciate your comment about learning how to change image sizes for "better display." Have you been reading the textbook? Ha, ha. This is precisely the purpose behind the image collection assignment, and I regret not better communicating it to the rest of the class. I fear that many thought it was random exercise, which is why I added the theme requirement.
But, ultimately, it's more than that. It's tremendously important to understand the relationship between image compression and file size and how that image will "behave" when you attempt to upload it, store it, or transfer it online. You will be glad you have compressed your images before you attempt to upload your artifacts to the PLP next month -- it can be a huge headache!
Good work!
