It’s been nearly two weeks since my last post here. That’s because most of my spare time has gone into the creation of a website for my church. That project has gone well, and it’s been gratifying to be able to use a great deal of what I’ve learned while doing this blog. The church site isn’t live yet, so I can’t share it.
What I can share is one of my favourite blogs that isn’t an edublog. I’m not sure how I first happened on the blog that James Yeang, of Kuala Lumpur, calls Friedbeef’s Tech: Solving everyday problems with simple technology. I do know that I’ve long been a subscriber. James never fails to be informative and helpful. I especially appreciate his focus on freeware, on all things Firefox, and on general “useful tips”.
I was prompted to share FriedBeef’s Tech by the helpful post that James wrote last Sunday–7 Awesome and Free Image Editors. In today’s world, I believe every learner and every teacher needs to develop effective image editing skills. James has shared a set of free image editing tools for a variety of purposes and that are appropriate for a broad range of skill sets. If you are interested in some great free tools, check out James’ post and learn…
