Well I obviously did not read the tips about uploading images before I selected my images. I started working on this during the evening, went to bed to let the photos upload while I sleep, and still had photos trying to upload the next morning. I tried to delete some photo but couldn’t get them off the uploading tray while they were “pending.” Then I read the uploading tip that suggested I resize the images to speed uploading time. I canceled my upload and resized my picture. On a Mac you do this through the “Preview” application that is preloaded on a Mac. First you click on the picture to open it, then go to the File/Save As and a dialogue box open up. Down at the bottom there is a slide bar that lets you adjust the quality of the picture. To resize the picture smaller just lower the quality, as you do it will tell you the file size right below the slide bar. Once my pictures were resized I finished the project in another 15 minutes. It was a fun little application, but I did not see much practical use for the classroom. I guess for special events you could have pictures of the class (Christmas, end of school year), or maybe use this after a field trip or field day. It would be fun to have on a class website, classroom blog, or other site parents had access to.
