Pinnacles Creating a Collage Using Picasa
After loading Picasa onto the computer it was then an easy process to import photos from the files on the computer into Picasa.
The first feature I went into was creating a collage with your pictures. You can scramble the pictures or shuffle to organise them. If you desire when creating a collage you can add effects, change tuning and add basic fixes.

- Picasa (home page) Library
The Library (home page) is where you can see the albums, projects and your picture files.
Another feature is creating a video with your pictures where you can add text and load music. What a wonderful program to organise your pictures.

Capture of a video in Picasa
In the classroom students could capture photos or video from a webcam/ video device of an excursion or class project.
Students could create a poster and use the basic fixes to add text or save to picnik to edit pictures and then save back into Picasa.
There are numerous options for use in the classroom. You need to set down why the students are using the program and what are the gains, What are the students completing the task for?
