Need to send large files?
Often students tell me that they need to e-mail large files, but the school server has a maximum file amount that can be sent through e-mail. Carol
Williams, the marketing instructor at Pearl River, told me about a website that will transfer large files over the internet. The website is: http://www.yousendit.com/. The website will keep the file for 7 days, so that the receiver may access the file.

Xara Webstyle 4 software.
In my last post I raved about downloaded fonts, but I forgot to mention on thing. If you save a document with a downloaded font, other people cannot see the font unless they have downloaded it. That is why I love Xara Webstyle 4. Xara allows you to save fonts into images so EVERYONE can see them! Find the software at: http://site.xara.com/products/webstyle/ it is only about $80. Download a free, 15-day trail to try it out! I even have a tutorial that shows you how to use it at http://ocean.otr.usm.edu/~w434365/index.html Below is an example of what Xara can do. If you have a MySpace, this software is a MUST!
In the software you can change backgrounds, increase the size as large as you want, apply shadows, and use your downloaded fonts! There is even an application for web design....you can create buttons, navigation bars, dividers, etc... for your webpage!

My former Instructional Technology instructor at the University of Southern Mississippi has a wonderful emerging technology blog at: http://scyuen.wordpress.com/
Also, check out his website at http://dragon.ep.usm.edu/~yuen/. There are many helpful websites for clipart, templates, etc. I would strongly recommend his Search Page when you need help finding things online.
Dr. Yuen is my favorite teacher, and I hope to influence my students as much as he has influenced me!
Free Stuff....
I love finding free software on the internet. My main motive in creating this blog, was for me to share exciting links with my students and friends. We have been using Photoshop CS3 in class, and a student told me about a free software download, PhotoScape. Download this software at http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php.
My first picture to play with was a picture of three instructors here at Pearl River, Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Foster, and me.
