Pictures and editing images

Editing pictures has been an issue now that we are into our research papers and thinking about presenting the research findings in a public showcase. The Chrome Book allows storage of photos, and there's some adjustments that can be made, but editing and enhancing the image like could be done in Jing, Screencast, or perhaps Picasa cannot be done because those were not purchased.

When this study began, the request was to have the tools these students could use to produce professional products with digital resources. That has not happened. Although the Chrome Book has been a helpful convenience for students to move around and work anywhere, and for me to see their work from multiple places, it has been a glorified laptop. The add-on tools are the resources that would have given the students the ability to digitally create their research on a bigger scale than the paper/pencil format did.

So in the end, taking notes and editing pictures and generating work using YouTube tutorials did not happen. In fact, I would say it made efforts more challenging since the goal could be seen but still unreachable.

Some days I believe it might have been better to keep with the notebook journals and index cards.
