2. –Organizing images

*The web provides us many different tools to organize our photos and albums.
www.imageloop.com Allows you to upload photos and create albums with special
effects, such as slider, cube, spin and many more.

ACTIVITY: Take some pictures of the school, or find them in the internet, and create a
slideshow with them, using imageloop. Customize it with SKIN, EFFECTS,
BACKGROUND, etc. Then upload it into tour blog and send the embed code to the
teacher by e-mail.

*Another popular feature is www.flicker.com. This feature allows you to create photo
albums, slideshows and turn them into presentations. You can also upload videos, with
time and size restrictions.
*Slideshare allows you to make slide presentations of power point and pdf files. If you
have a power point presentation about a school subject, upload it to Slideshare. Try to
add audio to it. View the tutorial on how to use Slideshare.
