MODULE 7

Module 7 was a new revelation.  I had not heard of the 'delicious' bookmarking tool before.  It makes sense to have an online bookmarking tool, when you may not have the same computer at all times to access the bookmarks.  I look forward to adding my own links to appropriate materials, and saving time  rather than typing in whole addresses. A helpful tool to the teaching websites we need.

MODULE 6

This module was quite interesting. I felt that the 'Picasa' google app was already quite familiar to me.  As I have an Apple Mac Laptop, I often save my photos on to my own computer, and can edit photos using the same kind of system.  (Such as red-eye reduction, lighter shades, different colours, cropping etc). This made this module easier for me to understand.  I did discover some different ways to edit as well, and its a great way to save photos online - ensuring they will never be lost! (I use a company called 'Snapfish' for the same purpose). Facebook is another way I also tag photos - but 'Picasa' is a great way of doing it with more commentary, and a specific private audience.  It was good to already have a small background of these ideas to complete this module!
