I downloaded all of my pictures off my phone into picassa for the first time. I also ordered the prints from walgreens and they will be delivered to my house in 3-5 days. Now I have a years worth of pictures that I can now delete off my phone. Yeah!!!

Returning to Posterous
Jess has found a prettier way to embed your posterous account. :-) It's ridiculously tricky, so she made you this handy video and will help you rework your site so it looks better than the one we installed initially. (See the Posterous link on the left of this page for a comparison.)

Here is how Jess and Britt use picasa albums in their website: https://k-1multiage.wikispaces.com/Phonics+Practice
Do you want to set up your google account to be able to upload by email? https://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/09/add-photos-by-email-in-picasa-web.html
If you have a Smartphone, there are apps that let you directly upload to Picasa, too.
And just for kicks, did you know that Facebook wants your unborn child?
WHOA! These are three (Plus 1) fabulous robust tools. Click the +1 below if you joined Google Plus. Then tell about the tool or feature from this morning's session that you are MOST jazzed by!

I've spent a lot of time reorganizing my Gmail inbox and setting up my calendar. Great organizational ideas! Now I'm off to explore some of the other google opportunities...

I love Google Day! I worked in calendar and email this morning. I added colored tabs to my existing folders and imported the COOR calendar into my calendar program. Cindy and I tried experimented with gmail chatting using our microphones... fun!!!!! As a Houghton Lake employee I have been using gmail and gcalendar for about 2 years so being able to "fine tune" both programs makes them even more useful.

So much to explore, so little time! I've played with the calendar, looked at putting emails and messages into different categories, and organizing things. Going to play in Picasa, too.
Googlized!!!!!

Excited to follow google + just one more thing to pass the time when no updates on facebook;)
Jazzed about importing my work email into gmail, especially because I can never reply successfully from phone to work email!
Going to play with google and clean up my documents this am.
