Photography Lovers

I know you are out there......you LOVE this new digital age because of how it has affected the photography world! Whether you have your photos all organized and put into albums or it is on your "Bucket List", do I have the website for you!

The world is a smaller place because of technology and the "social" networking that happens in the blink of an eye. Are you ready for this "Six Degrees" happening? This website came to me through my Twitter following of Katie Morrow who follows Corey Dahl who found this site of online photography tools and resources! 

When my taxes are done and I'm waiting for the opportunity to start FAFSA , I'm going to come back to this website named "90+ Online Photography Tools and Resources" and have a great time!

My daughter LOVES Picnik and she "fixes" up her favorite photos with this free site...and look at all the free photos.....there are enough blogs to keep you in reading material for weeks.....and photomixing..... and someday when I get a cell phone with a camera.......!! So many hobbies, so little time!! 

Bottling It Up for YOU

In December a few of us went to O'Neill Public Schools to the Apple 21st Century Learning Leadership Institute Event called the 24/7 Learning Journey. I wish I could bottle the information that the teachers shared with us. 

While the teachers were showing and telling us what they did in their classrooms, Katie Morrow was capturing it into a podcast. Only 2 of the podcasts recorded correctly. What you see is their screen and what you will hear is their presentation. 

So log in and listen as here is as close as I came to that bottling feature - -
