Get into the swing of creating digital books really quickly using the photo album feature of power-point. Coach students to take the photos and create the books. a) Open Powerpoint. b) Insert- Photo Album- New Photo Album c) Insert picture from - selecy: 'File/Disk...' d) Select your pictures e) Select your desired options under ' Album Layout'. f) Hit 'create'. || Create an avatar (a character that will represent you online). This is great fun and purposeful as student avatars are a safe way to represent individuals online. I have used 'Build Your Wild Self' with my class. [] Once completed, save it as a jpeg ( if that option is available) otherwise take a screen shot see below. || This is such a simple little thing but it is amazing how handy it is. To create a screen –shot: [| http://take-a-screenshot.org/] || Check out these collections. [|Woodlands] [|UEN] || Get arty with paint. The copyright legislation means that the easiest way to use images legally is to create or ‘take’ them ourselves. Get familiar with the paint programme so that you can coach your kids, The images created can be saved in the libraries folder as ‘jpegs’ and used over and over by the whole school. Find the paint programme on your computer. It may be under START - PROGRAMS -ACCESSORIES-PAINT. ||
