Winter...

If you've been watching the Weather Channel or CNN (or checking Google news this past week, you've probably seen the view from anywhere within 20 miles of where I live. While we expect snow in the winter, it's been late in coming and now that it has come, it just won't stop. A full week of lake effect snow is unusual even for us. Anyway, it's given me time to keep up with blogs and such, learn a few things about a new digital camera that I have and work with a site I found to do some new things with the pictures I've taken. Here's one example from Scrapblog. It's a little quirky to work with but makes some nice scrapbook-like pages. This would be another nice tool to give even upper elementary kids for digital storytelling. I was going to embed it, but it needs to be bigger than can be displayed here. Instead, here's a link to my scrapblog about winter in Central New York.

Some other sites for working with digital pictures that do a really nice job are:
Picnik
Phixr
Pixenate
