Project #2 blog

I really enjoyed creating this project. From the beginning I knew I was going with the subject matter of "Deep Sea Creatures" as Marine Biology is related to my content area of Life Science. It's honestly an area I wouldn't mind specializing in someday. Marine Biology is also a passion for my nine year old son Sean, and after seeing the demonstration I decided to have this photo book double as a birthday gift for Sean as well. Going into this project I had never used a Mac program before, so I didn't quite know what to expect. The demonstration given in class made the iPhoto program seem simple enough, and it proved to be when I went in the lab almost a week later to put it all together. I really appreciated how easy this program was to use. The next time I use iPhoto, I wouldn't mind experimenting with the different layouts and other options of the program that I didn't use this time around. I believe photo management software can have numerous applications in the classroom, especially after playing with the slide-show function on iPhoto. I think photos are great visual aids for education.
