I have posted my thoughts at: http://schoollibrarylady.wordpress.com/about/ and if you have time I would be interested in knowing more about your program.

We (at MLC School in Sydney) think that this will be our best year for Skoolaborate.

]]> Comment on To Flash or Not to Flash: That Is The Question. by sean baughn http://it.seattleschools.org/blog/2009/12/to-flash-or-not-to-flash-that-is-the-question/comment-page-1/#comment-13022 sean baughn Wed, 02 Dec 2009 05:07:10 +0000 http://it.seattleschools.org/blog/?p=3114#comment-13022 Interesting post - One trick I use frequently in lower light setting where slow shutters speeds are needed is to set the timer for 2 seconds and then depress the shutter. This can diminish the motion of taking the picture (an issue with SLR's) and allow a decent slow shutter shot. It is also possible use sport mode (or a similar motor drive setting on some cameras) to take a quick burst of shots. The first and last are often blurry, but the middle shots can turn out quite clear.
