Hello there!
Well next I investigated the E toolkit on still images. I couldn’t download Picasa as it is over 18 Mb and it might send me over my daily download limit on the satellite. However, iPhoto has a crop option, so I went ahead and cropped a photo using the software I had. The original photo was an 8Mb image of my uncle wearing his sunglasses when he came to visit. I magnified his sunglasses and cropped the image, then exported it as a JPEG file of 20kb, perfect for uploading. That is me and my son Elliot with our sombreros. I am quite pleased with the results. I have an idea for mixing audio (podcasts) and still images for my Moodle course. I will upload an image and get students to briefly describe it, or better still they can upload an image and describe it. Perhaps an image of their family. I will have to teach them about file sizes though…
