Using Picassa to find pictures for Chantel's Timeline Project for 1st grade

 

The above page is from Chantel's Timeline for 1st grade. She was supposed to create a timeline for a Social Studies Project. Chantel wrote the words past, present and future. I picked 2 pictures from the youngest photos we have of her on digital camera, when she was 2 years old. She was reading a book. She loved to read then, and she loves reading chapter books now, as a first grader. The second picture of her in the present, is at our memory garden, after she helped me plant it. She loves to help update this garden, annually, to remember her siblings in Heaven: Blessing, Patience, and Joy Schultz. The last picture, future, is one she drew, when she grows up, she wants to be in a fishing boat. I thought that was cute.
She did a wonderful job and we are so proud of her! Hope you enjoy her timeline, as much as we did!

Here is a Photo of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA Taken from Google Street Level

I am so happy it worked. It took me a while to be able to download this photo. It seemed to be easiest to add to my blog, rather than a google presentation, in Google docs, so here it is!

By the way, in Google maps, to go to street level photos, all you need to do as click and drag the person to the location (letter) on the map to see it and rotate on the 360 degree arrows to move yourself into the location to find the picture you are looking for. Maybe I can use this at school, to share some locations a class would want to see, for a virtual trip, rather than going by bus. I think it would being interesting for any age group of elementary students.

The Things I've learned this weekend!

This weekend, I've learned about so many things that are available on Google. The things that are free. The things that are available online, which may allow me to access things from school. I'm so excited to be learning new things and to receive credit for things that I already enjoy, writing and sharing ideas. I also like to come up with ways to organize and to simplify my life.

Thanks for taking the time to read the following entries, which will include my thoughts and musings on GOOGLE and all the interesting features, which it offers. The one I am currently using is Blogger.


The cool part,about the projects I am doing and the things I am creating, are that I can access the information from any computer around the world, as long as I am logged in. So exciting. Isn't technology great!

An interesting comment on my picture above is that I wanted to include it in a project, but only seem to be able to include it in my blog. Maybe I can use it for another course I'm taking this summer. We will see. I love the beautiful visual. Maybe I can share it with a class online, at least. Hope you've enjoyed my previous entries, as well.

The Cross- By Chris Ann Schultz- Good Friday, 4/2/10

"The Cross"

Symbol of death,
Symbol of pain,
A place of forgive-
ness, of new life
again. A place to
see death, A place
to see life, A place
Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven of great suffering, Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven
Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven A place of great Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven
Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven strife. A place to Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven
Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven remember, a place Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven
Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven of great hope. A Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven
Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven place of loss and Forgiven Forgiven Forgiven
a place of restor-
ation. May we never
forget. May we exper-
ience true forgive-
ness, not just for
what we do wrong each
day, but from our past,
to our present, and
through all eternity.
Who can do all this
for us, only the blood
of Jesus can, the per-
fect Son of God! May
we see Your love, as
you suffered and died.
May we forgive others
in response. May we
live and share the
Love, we received from
You, daily! Thank You!
