WELCOME!

Many think being an English teacher is the easiest job in the world. Take a bunch of kids, turn on a movie, and assign a paper, but it is actually one of the most challenging and rewarding professions on the planet! If you don't believe me or if you do, follow me on this journey. It's bound to be an interesting one.

Playing with Picassa for TPTE 486



I could use Picassa in my classroom to create slideshows that keep parents informed of our classroom activities or as a tool for students to create timelines or presentations on select authors or characters. One idea I have for this tool is for students to create a series of images that fit a particular character we are reading about such as items this person might have or want or images that are metaphorical representations for the character. It would be a quick way to assess their understanding of a particular character and also to see what type of inferences they are able to make on their own.
