Today was great as well. Learned how to layer images and take say my head out of a photo and add it to another image. As Lindsey mentioned this could be used in biology by taking a picture of an animal dissection and labeling it using a program like this. Another tool I can't wait to apply to my class/teaching is a whiteboard or wiimote board. I feel that once you have the skills to use these to their full potential that they can be strong teaching tools in math and science. For example in biology, I would love to use a smartboard to teach anatomy if I had a program where I could add in and take out body parts or label them on the board. Photo editing is also a valuable tool to teach students how the media that they observe everyday is edited and changed to let the viewer see what the corporation wants them to and not necessarily the truth.

Great class, getting onto the final project this weekend.
