Teaching Picasa

I think teaching Picasa will be fun! But my professor asked me how I will teach it. Will I teach how to upload an image into Picasa, how to adjust the colors, crop an image, or what? There are so many things to do, I didn’t even consider it. I need to look through Picasa and decide exactly what I am going to teach. More to come…

End of Financial Analysis and Beginning of Teach Project

Well, I just finished the Financial Analysis project. It seemed like it would be fun to plan a trip to Europe, yet somehow it was torturous. Probably because I am not someone who likes planning, math, or finance. But I do like travel, so maybe someday all of that planning will really come in handy. I really didn’t like planning the budgets. The spreadsheet was difficult to work with, as was posting them on WordPress, though I managed to do it. My most helpful tools were my travel books, Lonely Planet Western Europe and Europe by Eurail 2008. I poured over them and used their prices for most of my information.

Now, a look ahead at the Teach project is required. I love art. In fact, I am an art major and plan on becoming an art teacher, so I think this project will be good for me. Lately I have been learning how to teach others in several of my life activities. I think for this project, I will teach something art related. Photoshop comes to mind. Or maybe Picasa, which is similar to Photoshop, but it is offered free from Google. It has fewer features, though. I think Picasa will be a good lesson to teach because anyone can use it because it is free and less complicated than Photoshop.
