I created an album in Picasa and I now see the many, many places to upload and share photos. There are so many and now I have several albums uploaded in several places! This is beneficial because I can have certain sites where I share pictures with my students and other places where I share personal photos with family and friends. This will help me keep track of everything. I have also become more comfortable with making my pictures public. In the beginning of this course, I was very apprehensive about strangers seeing my pictures. Now I realize that it’s part of the fun! I certainly can’t view and enjoy other people’s pictures without sharing mine as well. 
I also explored Google Earth. I think this could be very beneficial for students to use during science instruction. It shows earthquakes, volcanoes, and other changes to the earth’s surface. This will be a wonderful tool to use during our Earth Science unit next year. And since I will have a Promethean board permanently in my room (yahoooo!), I can access the information easily.
