Image Technology

Imaging technology is the application of materials and methods to create, preserve, or duplicate images. We will use programs like Pixlr and Photoshop to learn how to manipulate images on the computer. We also will be using web design tools like google sites to build our own personal website. As well as coding programs like Scratch to learn the basics of computer programming and Information Technology.

What is Pixlr?

Pixlr is a free cloud-based set of image tools and utilities, including a number of photo editors, a screen grabber browser extension, and a photo sharing service.

What is Photoshop?

Photoshop is considered one of the leaders in photo editing software. The software allows users to manipulate, crop, resize, and correct color on digital photos. The software is particularly popular amongst professional photographers and graphic designers.

What is google sites?

Google Sites is a structured wiki-and Web page-creation tool offered by Google as part of the Google Apps for Work productivity suite. The goal of Google Sites is for anyone to be able to create a team-oriented site where multiple people can collaborate and share files.

What is scratch?

Scratch is a free visual programming language developed by the MIT Media Lab. Scratch was created to help young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically and work collaboratively. It is used by students, teachers and parents to easily create interactive stories, animations, games, etc. It provides a stepping stone to the world of computer programming. It can also be used for a range of educational and entertainment constructionist purposes from math and science projects, including simulations and visualizations of experiments, recording lectures with animated presentations, to social sciences animated stories, and interactive art.
