This is a very basic, beginner level overview of using Picassa. It was actually used alongside a Level 1 BTEC Photograhy course I taught. I did some videos, but they were in Captivate and in SWF – and I’m unable to import (convert) them into YouTube? I will try and add them ASAP. [...]

This is an excellent (if I say so myself) presentation. Combined with work from my Colleague at the time (Kenny Sharpe), and my own twist, it was a really great lesson that allowed students to help understand the basic and advanced versions of these tools.

This bock is the reason [...]
