This week we worked on and turned in our computer graphics assignments. I really had fun with this. I especially enjoyed making my free hand picture in Paint. I LOVE Paint. I have been rather obsessed with it since I was like 5, so I am also very proficient in it. I made a picture of Odie from Garfield. Now, I personally prefer using GIMP to edit my pictures - as opposed to the Windows Picture Editor. GIMP is essentially a free, open source version of PhotoShop. If I could suggest any one thing to do differently for future ED 350 classes, it would be to explore and include GIMP. It is an amazing program (and it's FREE!). I have used it SO much over the past few years, and I am sure that I will use it tons as a teacher.
We also began to discuss our PowerPoint projects, which I think should be interesting. I've never really used PowerPoint before - I've used the free/Open Office version of it once or twice, but that's it. So I'm looking forward to those projects. I know that teachers are using PowerPoint more and more these days in the classrooms, so I'm sure that this will be beneficial.
