Around the West with pictures, anyone?

Resize them using Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or, if you don't own either program and don't want to buy for them, there is a free image editing program called IrfanView (you can find it here) Just download & install.

Then, for a tutorial on resizing images in IrfanView, check out this post

Wee.


P.s. just a tip: When I resize images I usually use one of the preset/common sizes, or the percentage option. It's easier. I think the tutorial is for resizing with exact pixel sizes, or common ones, but sometimes, say i have a huge photo, I will just resize it to 20 or 25 percent of the height and width.

No......my teaching style is very democratic and laid back, even to a fault. I find it too stressful and out-of-character to be a hard-arse. It's just not me. I like to base everything on trust, relationships and commitment. I usually win them over by Thanksgiving. By the end of the year, they're all mine, even the really mean ones. But, at first, I have to take a lot of static. The kids come first, not my ego. My style isn't for everyone. I'm a big fan of the Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire. He wrote, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Very, very ingenious guy.:thumbup:

Thanks. Good info. I'm off and running.:thumbup:

Sheesh.
At my school, the teaching was not very laid back (for the most part). At least, there were lots of rules, and ltos of anal administrators, but teachers each have an AC/Heater in their room that they control.

Now, whether it works or not was a different story. Those things were always breaking down....

My school is extremely rowdy, as in 'combat-zone' rowdy. Teacher morale and turnover are always in a state of uproar. The movie, "The Substitute", would give you a good idea as to what we experience on a daily basis. The only difference is that our building is new. Teachers only survive if their people-skills are honed to a fine edge. Rules alone won't do it.

Oh man. It's been a while since I saw that movie, but I think I remember how it was....pobrecito pino

Sin embargo, me gusta mucho. Estoy orgulloso de mis estudiantes. :headbang:

Here's a few pictures of Atlantic Canada, the first two are of my favorite beach in N.S. The rest are of NFL, or Newfoundland.
