Episode 2 - Using Digital Pictures in the Classroom

In this episode, we look at using digital pictures in the classroom. Topics covered in this episode are:

• Digital literacy
• Creating a digital photo album with PowerPoint
• Creating a multimedia photo presentation with Photo Story 3
• Ideas for using digital cameras in the classroom
• Sharing photos with parents and students using Flickr.com
• Extra viewer submissions : Star-w and The EdTech Posse

The download is a 19Mb .wmv file. Tomorrow I will be posting a .divx version of this episode which will has a chapter links menu similar to a DVD. This should make viewing TILT episodes a bit easier for the Mac crowd. I'm also looking at publishing a Quicktime format. If anyone has suggestions for a good application to convert .wmv to Quicktime please let me know via the comments section here or email tilttv@gmail.com .
