1 Activity 1: Introducing Picasa	24/10/13	I have used the Picasa app through my blogs but it is good to download the web album for much easier use!!
2 Activity 2: Search for Images using Picasa Web Albums		Done often so this activity didn’t take long
3 Activity 3: Uploading Photos		Again - something I have done already
4 Activity 4: Editing photos using Picasa Web Albums		I have edited some photos and made a collage - these could be a time consuming (wasting?) exercises if you chose to do it too much
5 Activity 5: Sharing photos		Tried that by sharing my collage - I wonder what the response will be?
6 Activity 6: Copyright & Acceptable Use		I read about Teacher Tube and Youtube, in particular I noted these questions and answers: Can I copy TeacherTube videos from home and use them as part of my teaching practice? The TeacherTube terms and conditions state that videos may be downloaded for personal or classroom educational use, provided: there is a link to TeacherTube in any presentation, website or other form of media in which the downloaded video is included; and the author of the video is credited. Risk Management Tips for Teachers Using YouTube Don't use content that is likely to be an infringing copy. Only use YouTube videos for the purpose of teaching.  There should be no commercial benefit. Only use what you need. Check that you can't purchase or readily license the content that you need from another source. Don't expose the content to further copying or communication, such as giving students access to an electronic file that they could copy.
7 Optional Activity: Create a photo collage or movie		I made a collage but a movie isn’t what I think I need to do at this point
8 Module Reflection Activity		The content of this module was largely material I had some knowledge of already so it was good to learn more and try a few different things
