Jing Image

When I started playing with around with the Jing application I found out that I could incorporate this into the class that I am helping teach.  We are going over how to remove a facemask off of a football helmet.  Students seemed to think that you could cut through the metal bars.  I made this to give them a reference on where to cut before they actually got to practice on a real helmet.

Here is the Hyperlink to a larger viewing of the picture.

The type of file that comes out of Jing is PNG. I save my visual artifacts in my history of Jing and Screencast.com. They will also get saved to my clipboard.  I import Jing objects by hitting the insert picture tool on the toolbar and locating it in the file of my Snagit folder.  I published my artifacts by added them to my blog and hitting the add button after finding which one I would like to publish.  Sharing my artifacts is easy when I have them posted on my blog.

Self Portrait

My self portrait was enjoyable to make and I had some issues with changing the colors of the face after I had already built it.  I solved this problem by changing the colors around the face instead of the face. It was funny though how I looked at it after though because it kind of represented how things change around me but, I will remain the same through all of it.  Here is the site I used to make this picture:

The Snipping Tool

I learned today how to use the snipping tool.  I have ever had to use this nor did I know that this even existed. There is not much to using this new gadget but it is something that is nice to know that exists.  I added something of the Dr. Pierce's information page on the snipping tool.  Check it out below.

  Grabbing thing has become so necesary that the Microsoft Windows has included a utility to do just that - Snipping Tool.

Different web browsers and different experiences

Today, I finally found out more than what I had ever known about web browsers and what all they could do.  I learned that a browser add on is an important tool; in which I can easily find information that pertains to me and my field of study without having to search the entire internet.  I used a diigo add-on and it was great to use because it is like my own personal library.  It was very easy to install and easy to work.  Before today I had never used a browser add on and had never knew what one was for. The activity of using and setting up a browser add-on felt like it is helping me by expanding my professional growth and leadership by being able to find and post topics on current research and position statements in my athletic training field.  I never realized how much the internet come actually teach me how to use this to better myself and my profession.
