Thing #12

So I explored some more Google tools and created a calendar, actually two calendars, and a Picasa photo album.  One of my calendars is mine so it's private. The other one is 'school projects' and it's public.  I actually have two Picasa albums as well.  One was apparently created when I made my photo mosaic and the other is the one I created for this thing.  The public photo album is in memory of Cosmo and has just six photos of him.  In part because a lot of the pictures I have of him, especially as a puppy, are actual photographs (you remember those don't you?  Put film in a camera, take photos, take film in to be developed) so I can't put them on unless I scan them which is on my list of things to do some day when I have free time.  I know, try not to fall off your chair laughing!  But I digress.  I found both the calendar the the Picasa album to be very simple to use.  I like the fact that you can create as many calendars as you like and choose to keep them private, make them completely public or share them with just selected people.  I could use the calendar to post deadlines and give the web address to parents and students so everyone could keep track of what is due when.  Here's a link to the calendar.  I can use the photo album for class projects or to post photos of a class event since I can share the photos without making them completely public.  Here's a link to the photo album.  Now I hope that my links will still work on Monday.
