Digital Images

I have a lot of experience with digital images in both my social life and through my work. In my social life I like to download images onto my computer to save them, even if I don't have the time to print them out. I upload pictures onto Facebook. I like taking pictures because I like going back and remembering what I've done, and to see how much I, my family, and friends have grown. I work at CVS/Pharmacy as a photo technician, so I work with photos more than most people. I am also trained to develop, print, and cut film. I've taught customers how to use our Kodak Kiosk app so that they can send pictures from their smartphone to our kiosk without a chord or a mini sd card. I knew most of what was taught in class yesterday because I've been working with CVS for the past 5 years, so I've had to constantly keep up with our ever changing photo clientele and learning new technologies to upload or download photos.

In class I did learn how to properly download and resize photos using preview on my macbook. I also learned how upload photos onto google presentation. And finally I learned that resizing the photo works way better than dragging the corners of the photo. The next thing that we did was go to the music building and find all of the instruments for our scavenger hunt and download and share them through dropbox! I had never done this before, and I still was not sure how dropbox worked because I had heard of the software but never have used it, so it was really exciting to learn how to work it.

In my future classroom I can see me using this information to create slideshows for my students with picture that are properly sized and are at 72 resolution. I'm excited to be able to start finding good pictures of composers and artists to show to my students.
