Topic:  Picture

Please write 2-3 sentences about a picture you have seen.  Make sure you put this entry above the last entry on your journal so the most recent comments are always on top of your document.  This could be a picture of yourself, your family, or something else.  It could be artistic or taken just for fun.  Try to describe the picture you are thinking about, and why it is important or meaningful to you.  Why was it taken, where was it taken, etc.  When you have completed the Journal Entry you will read your directions for the rest of the class today below.  Click the link below to see an example of what I am looking for:

PIXLR.COM

Today we will be working online with pixlr.com.  This is a powerful website (CLICK HERE) to help you work with and manipulate digital photographs.  Please use
the time today to explore this software using pictures from Google
Images. We will eventually be learning to take pictures and create a
