And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings ...

How We Create Photo Fridays

Digital Photography -- one of the many activities in the Fall Session

This activity is where you'll learn to create fabulous photos to post on MySpace, Facebook, online albums or even Photo Friday's feature on Tech Club's blog.

Volunteers and Alumni - interested in learning Photoshop? We welcome your participation.

Fall session starts on September 30th; call Cabrini Connections at 312-492-9614 to sign-up for Tech Club.

Why You Should be in Tech Club

Tech Club meets on Tuesdays from 6-7 pm starting on September 30th.

Here's some of the fun stuff we'll be doing this fall in Tech Club:

• Learn how to use a digital camera
• Create an online photo album
• Edit photos with a computer
• Create e-cards using your edited photos
• Create a movie poster
• Blog about what you’re doing

I know what you're thinking -- sounds like a lot of fun but what will we actually learn. Glad you asked! Participating in Tech Club on a weekly basis means you'll:

• Build-up computer confidence
• Develop skills that'll be useful for both homework and in the working world
• Become very comfortable with a world that is increasingly technical.

Can't wait, right? Well, be sure to sign-up at one of the Student Orientations or by calling Cabrini Connections at 312-492-9614.
