Course Description:Have you been clicking those shots for years? Would you like to learn the many ways to use them? Then this class is for you. Today our computers can access so many resources on the internet for digital pictures. I have researched for the best sites for classroom use and will share them in this class as well as show you how to use them. Together we will explore digital editing and storage sites, slideshows, and collage opportunities and more. We will also explore ways to enhance your own collection of pictures with resources on the web for digital photos. Copyright issues will also be covered as we work on planning lessons and projects for your students. All that you learn in this class about using photos can also apply to your personal collection of family digital photos too!

Course Objectives: Participants will be able to:
 * describe the educational uses of Digital Images
 * explain copyright issues of using online resources for digital imagery
 * create, record and share images with others
 * evaluate and find uses for slideshows, and picture collages in your classroom
