Spot.us - Home Book Chook Favourites - Online Image Editors Book Chook Favourites - Online Image Editors by Susan Stephenson, www.thebookchook.com Ribbet: Ribbet is probably the online image editor I use the most. Because I've used it often, I know my way around, and it's quicker for me to edit an image there than it is to open software. I often use it to illustrate my posts here at The Book Chook. Pizap: I talked about Pizap in Play with Words and Images at Pizap. Pic Monkey: PicMonkey seems a very popular image editor for Bloggers, judging by what I observe on Pinterest. Tuxpi: Tuxpi is a big online image editor I told you about in Tuxpi - 42 Photo Effects and Picture Frames. Fotor: Fotor is fairly new to me, but my familiarity with other image editors as well as its slick interface make it a breeze to use. Picfont: If you want an image editor that simply and easily lets you add text to an image, give PicFont a try. Iaza: Perhaps you remember my post, Visual Literacy - Play with Images at Iaza?

SlideBoom - upload and share rich powerpoint presentations online IfItWereMyHome.com Canada A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada faces the political challenges of meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services, as well as responding to the particular concerns of predominantly francophone Quebec. The land now occupied by Canada was first inhabited approximately 16,000 years ago by aboriginal peoples. The beginning of the 20th century saw Canada's early involvement in World War I due to British control of its foreign affairs. Today, Canada is characterized by its socially democratic programs such as universal health care, the Canda Pension Plan, and Canada Student Loans.

Picture Perfect: A Guide to Choosing Images for eLearning Picture Perfect: A Guide to Choosing Images for eLearning A picture is worth a thousand words. It’s trite but true. Good images are more than just pretty visuals. While image fundamentals such as size, composition, quality and exposure are important things to look for, they alone don’t guarantee that a particular image is best for your eLearning material. Ask, instead, these following questions: Relevancy: Does the image reinforce or support your message? If you answer yes to all these questions, then the image works. 1) Consider, first, the goal of your slide or screen. It’s not a good idea to start a photo search looking for inspiration. Images should serve the primary purpose of a specific slide. 2) Next, take time to find the right images. You perfectly understood the goal of each screen, now it’s time to look for the right image—one that would complement the key message. Don’t rush. Also, don’t be lazy. Extra Tip: Using Compfight Suggested resources: 3) Modify images to enhance them.
