Week of Sept. 18

Whew! I just turned in my graphics exercises. ALL NEW to me. I believe this was the first time I have ever used both Paint and Picture Manager. Honestly, I am not sure how often I will be using Paint in the future. When I completed my "drawing" with Paint, it looked like it had been done by a five-year-old. I would much rather get a white sheet of paper and some crayons. However, learning how to import graphics was very helpful. I also never knew the difference between .bmp, .gif, and .jpeg, much less when to use each of them. Cropping, resizing, etc. will definitely be useful when it comes to editing photos and graphics. The use of pictures, whether on handouts, in Power Point presentations, or on tests adds so much and makes things much more visually appealing.
