During the first week of class we looked at some graphics programs. For example, we looked at Face in Hole, Go Animate, Inage Chec and Toon Doo just to name a few. It was fun to put our faces in the characters in the Face in Hole but I do not think I would be able to use that for my class due to the fact that they had some pictures that were not appropriate for 6th graders. (Hugh Heffner with some scantily dressed girls) I also uploaded a powerpoint to Empresser and had some fun with that. I can see how that would be very useful for presentations in the classroom. I also used the 280 slide program and created a short presentation for about my class.
I must say that the option to save to the net is what really interested me. I have a computer at home, one at work, one for class, and visit computers all over the place. It amazes me that we can now save large amounts of infomation to the net and be able to access it from anywhere we want.
