Text Box:

Keeping parents and Teachers informed about worthwhile websites, and internet concerns.
Text Box: Happy 2008! It’s hard to believe that this school year is half over! Where has the time gone? I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing break, and a wonderful holiday season. Sorry for getting this newsletter out so late this month; seems time slips away from me every day! I have found some really great sites in the past few months, and am anxious to share them with you. As always, any of these and previously highlighted sites can be located at our school’s homepage: http://www.ikeepbookmarks.com/browse.asp?account=185731 Just click on the above link, and it should take you to the school’s page. From here you can access Destiny, the schools library database (which also has a super web browser: great for research). You can also access Infinite Campus, and the school’s website from here. Remember, this is your child’s homepage here at school. All sites that students are allowed to visit are on this page. These are the ONLY sites students are allowed to visit here at school.

Taken from the Paint.NET site:
Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.

 

 

 

Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP
