Picasa is an incredible photo tool. It allows you to edit pictures in a variety of ways. You can change the size, look, color, shadowing, and more! Picasa can be used to add pictures to the web such as adding them to a blog, a facebook. or any website. It provides a link with every picture. You can add your new and improved manipulated photos from it, or just the original copies to wherever you want them. There are a lot of different ways to use picasa in the classroom. You could use it to add photos into a powerpoint. You could use it to take pictures and add them to a classroom website. You could use it to order prints online. You could use it for group project to have your students use it and edit their own pictures. I have always had a hard time when my photos won't fit into a document or powerpoint or when they don't look just right. Picasa offers a solution to my problem! I am so excited to be able to have it and download it for free! I am definately going to edit my own pictures with it to put on facebook and it will be a great tool to use in class. I am also going to teach my students how to use it because it is the easiest photo editor I've ever used!
