About Me

Hi fellow bloggers. I'm learning how to do this whole blog thing. I'm a bit older which means that my kids want to help me put this together. I'm too afraid of what they will post so here I go. A little about me; I have graduated with a bachelors degree in business from Ball State University and I am now attending IUPUI to earn a certificate in elementary education. I chose this drastic change in careers because I wanted to come home each night and feel like I have made a difference. I've quit my job as Regional Director of Sales and I am now grinning from ear to ear as I walk through campus with my backpack. : ) It is awesome to know what you will be when you grow up. I wish all of you younger students the best in early discovery. Look forward to hearing from you all soon.

1st Emergent Technology Tool: PhotoShow

I have chosen to use Roxio PhotoShow. I haven't ever used any online photo sharing site before, but this particular site is amazing. I will continue to let you know all about how to use it and what it does as I continue to learn. This is an easy to use program that showcases all of your family photos into one “slideshow.” I truly had my photoshow finished and posted within 30 minutes.  The greatest features include; uploading photos quickly, adding your own soundtrack, sharing with friends and adding animations and effects that make people really want to view your photos. It is also such a useful site to organize your photos for you and others to view.

I just firgued out something that is really cool with Roxio PhotoShow.  It gives you the ability to import your photos from other accounts that you may currently use, such as Facebook and Shutterfly.  Also, the free membersip allows you to create everything that I have done.  I will probably pay for the premium membership but I didnt think that it would be fair to the other students who might want to try this out now.  One more thing, it also let's you batch upload, which meant that I was able to upload all of my photos at once.  Using this was alot of fun.  I enjoyed all of the different options, such as backgrounds.  It really let's your creativity shine. Give it a try and have fun!

This is a great site for using your photos.
