Since chapter five talks about using digital cameras to make digital media presentations, I thought I should make this post a little bit more interesting by sort-of advertising my latest gadget: I give you the Canon PowerShot SD1000.

I'm not going to get into detail of what this bad boy can do:] but I'll tell you this, it kicks a**! I use it everyday! Well, that's because I think my daughter does the cutest things and I want to record everything. The camera also lets me take videos (for up to an hour!) and then when I want to watch them, I just hook the mini usb cord to my television and watch the videos on the big screen. It's pretty neat. I make everyone that walks through my door sit down and watch my videos:)

Well to get back to the chapter, the camera is great for presentations. You can transfer your pics or videos quickly onto your pc and if you want to print your pics, the print and share button lets you print instantly without even having to hook the camera to your computer. How cool is that?

On a presonal note, I am thinking about double majoring in English Lit and English Ed. I get my bachelors degree in the spring for english lit but I'm thinking I should double major so that I can receive my teacher's certification through the school and not just take the test(s). I think the classes are extremely helpful and I think it'll help me get a job. But that means another year or so in school. I'm new to the education major so I'm not even sure what classes to take. I haven't decided if I want to major or not so I just thought of taking some intro classes until I decide.
