Wow, I didn't realize you could do so much with photos online, so easily and for free. I was amazed at how quick it was to get my photos from Picasa to Photoshop express and then back to Picasa. These two programs are obviously very compatible.
This assignment is similiar to the one we did yesterday, so I believe the standards it addresses are the same. However, I would like to add one thing. This tool is very useful in the classroom for adding important information and personal touches to photos, diagrams, charts, etc. and would be a very fun, motivational and interest capturing project for most ages. When summer school is over and I get some free time, I'm definitely going to put more photos on here and play around. Not to mention investigating what other free programs there are out there with such great capabilities, talk about motivated (I've always liked tweeking digital photos though).
To reiterate the important part, I do think this program or other similiar ones could be very useful in the classroom especially to keep students engaged and interested. The trouble will be to make sure they are being productive and using their time wisely.
