Dropbox Update for the Mac - Screenshot Uploads

According to the article, Dropbox Updates with Automatic Screenshot Saving and iPhoto Importing (http://lifehacker.com/dropbox-updates-with-automatic-screenshot-saving-and-ip-1434368743), Dropbox for the Mac allows you to upload screenshots.  If that is a feature you want to have so you can share with others, go ahead and turn it on.

Not sure about others, but I have too many photos on my Mac devices.  It would take too much space that I need for work files.   For some, however, that feature may be helpful. 

Instagram - Share Your Life with Photos

Instagram is a free app (yes, always looking for great free apps) that allows you to take a photo with your cell phone or iPad.  The photo can be modified with a variety of digital filters and then shared with the world using Twitter, Flickr or Facebook. You can use a geotag to provide a map where the photo was taken.If you are a photography buff you can have followers or be "followed." To use the app, all that is required is a user name and password.


I can see some implications for education, for example, using the photos to create a "cookie trail" for a treasure hunt.  The software allows for learners to "tell their story" and has the potential of sparking curiosity on a topic.Instagram is fun and easy app to use!
