Camera to Computer Class

I got an interesting email from a student who asked "now that I have the picture in my computer, what do I do with it". Very good question. Let me ask a question back what do you want to do with it? There are many possibilities. The very first thing is know where it is, and rename it. Generally, without telling the computer something else, the picture will go into the "My Pictures" folder which is usually located under "My Documents". When the picture comes out of the camera or cell phone it is automatically named something like Image 0001 or Img0001 or some other non-decrepit name. Just find the name, put your cursor on it and right click on it. Then as the name has turned solid blue type in a new name. If the file extension .jpg shows up be sure not to change that part of the name. Once you have it like you like, put the cursor in a blank spot and left click it once. The name will be permanently changed. You can rename it as often as you like.

The picture from the class were not taken with a digital camera but a cell phone and have not been edited or enhanced in any way.

Only One

Only one student of the "From Digital Camera to Computer" class has followed the instructions on the video, so far.

I don't know if this is because you haven't watched the video, or didn't follow the instructions.

I ask for each student to put in the "comments" line on bottom of any post, the brand of your camera.

The one student has a kodak c643. This helps me know what we will be working with.
For example, this Kodak model uses replaceable batteries rather than the built in
battery some models have. His camera uses a "SD" memory card which is standard with most cameras.

I will not be posting another video until I see that it is being used.

I don't mean to be so negative, but there is a lot of work involved in the making and posting of a video and I would hope it would be useful.

What Happened to the" From Digital Cameras to Computers Class?

An explaination will be comming shortly. First, I want to make you happy the class didn't happen.

Everyone who showed up for the class, including students, coaches, P.J. and any member of the library staff who might have tried of help, are all entered in a drawing for a Creative MP3 Player. This device plays music, has a built-in radio, and microphone for recording notes, and will come loaded with 53 Old Time Radio programs. Earphones and battery included. It's about the size of a pack of gum. The drawing will be at the opening of next Tuesday's "From Digital Cameras to Computers" class at 1:30 PM. You do need to be present to win.
Also, if you don't win the big prize there will be several other prizes. Everyone will receive a CD full of programs including the NEW AVG anti-virus program. See you next Tuesday and check back tomorrow for the class content that will be posted here on this blog.

Registration has started Slowly

We had only 37 students register Tuesday for classes. If you plan to take classes this session please register Wednesday afternoon. I know the weather is difficult, the positive side is you won't have to fight crowds to register. Hope you can find a break in the showers. Bring a friend and let's fill up the classes.
