Below I have posted a photo slide show that was created on Roxio PhotoShow! This is an app that allows you to create customized slide shows with added captions, graphics, effects, etc. This is neat for sharing your photos in a fun, artistic way! It was very user friendly and easy to use. All you do is upload some pictures and the site prompts you through each step of customizing your slide show. Hurrah!!! I don't have any real tips for using this app, because it is very easy to use. Just don't accidentally post any nude pictures of yourself, otherwise you may get in trouble!

RSS feeds

I don't know if I will use this ever again in the future. It seems like it would be a useful tool to stay up to date on certain things, but I just don't get my news off of the internet that much.

I did find out some cool things about upcoming running events, including a race in the snow where the runners use snowshoes. I also learned that some people actually think that it is not important to teach teachers how to teach, which is a bit disturbing to a prospective future teacher. I also learned about a few cool new acoustic guitars made by Taylor.

I did not know what an RSS feed was before this assignment, so that is a good learning experience. I am just glad that I am somewhat computer savvy, because I had trouble following the vague instructions. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't know their way around a computer a bit.
