Star Wars III 1/2: Sith Vacation

Today the 1A students continued their journey to computer mastery.

We have been working on a tutorial where they learn how to find images on the internet, copy them and import them to Photoshop, and then manipulate them. Today we succeeded in finishing the tutorial with modest success. Overall, I am pleased with their performance. The force is strong with this bunch.

The finished result looked something like this:



They seemed to get a kick out of it. Of course, the hardest part was getting them used to the basics. From there they had few problems. Clearly, when students are interested in the subject matter, they can overcome almost any language barrier.

Rooey, maybe it's easier to upload pics with a mac and the flicker program (if that's what you use), but how, exactly, do you do it if not that way? I use "hello" and each picture is it's own entry instead of just being a part of the text. Do you have any ideas?

P.S. I sent a postcard to you and Laurie today, and don't know how long it'll take to get to you or if it will, because the machine went ape on me and there are 4 stamps of varying worth on it!!!
You will laugh when/if it arrives.
