Photo Sharing

I am very familiar with a number of different programs for posting and editing photos (when you have all out-of-town family and a new baby, you become VERY familiar with photo sharing). I have a couple programs that I have purchased that are great photo editors, but I do have to say that Picnik is a wonderful free editing program. It actually does many of the same things that the software I have can do (just a bit more basic). What a great tool for anyone to use. I also wanted to comment about how cool I thought the Blog Response was for Mod. 6. I love the idea of telling a story about someone else's photos. A little opportunity for creativity is good for the soul. :)

Bookmarking

Such a simple idea,and yet SO useful! I find that, although this iknow class is a lot of work (especially with an extremely mobile 1 year old at home) it is worth every second you put into it. The exposure to various tools that you would otherwise have no idea about is so valuable. An example: The bookmarking features of Delicious and Diigo. These sites are both very different. I find that where Delicious is great for having bookmarkability between locations, Diigo is great for finding and sharing information and being able to highlight certain parts of a webpage and annotate it as well. The toolbar for Diigo is rather extensive, but it is really useful as it allows you to highlight, share, etc at the click of a button instead of having to go to a drop down menu. Great sites, great exposure to something new.
