a little catch up


So I have been dabbling a bit in everything this week and writing things down here and there:
This was something I really thought was clever through this week's process. I decided to use all my own photography whenever possible to avoid copyright issues. Fish Id unit, I think I can use almost all pictures of fish I've caught. The sad thing is I haven't had a chance to fish once yet. Plenty of ice and my ankle is all healed up from hike last week today. Seriously the copyright stuff scared me a little bit. I really need to clean this area up before school starts next year. Creative commons will be a great resource. I have the school sonic wall that blocks all youtube videos. I will master the kickyoutube site and try to use those this year. Some wonderful solutions have risen up today for technoproblems I
've had the last couple years.

my flickr

I'll be stacking personal photos that I are edited and ready to use in the classroom...

some more musings:
Flickr- access to files anywhere, use stuff modified at home at school without having to pack around flash drives, I have left my flash drive on the kitchen counter a time or two. Ideally in the next world we can travel to and from school with just your lunch because your computer at home is hooked up to your computer at school. Oh wait they already have that! I forget what is the web service that allows you to access your computer at home as long as your home computer is left on and connected to the internet???

Picnik where to start??? FUN! Microsoft image editing only free and maybe more user friendly. I have played around with photo editing stuff before and have a blast with it!

Kickyoutube is heaven sent if it works well. You all saw my early rants about this problem. I believe at some point someone suggested letting kids get on my computer and circumvent filters, no thanks that is just asking for trouble!

You Biology Teachers can use this when you discuss camouflage , can you find the van in this picture?
