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
photo project book for the entire school.  This will be an artistic
project aimed at helping you to use photography, journalism, and Mac
Pages.  We will be learning to use this software so you can create your
own part of our Yearbook later this year.
