Quia

Well, I just took Katie's and Jess's quiz. I found it very interesting. What a teacher can do with a quiz has changed since I used them three years ago. Both quizzes I took worked smoothly. It was interesting to see how different the two quizzes were. I also realized what I don't know about bees and the Revolutionary War. Also, if you are very knowledgeable in any of the tested areas, make a few incorrect answers because you don't want all the results to be 100%. It's hard to see the benefits of the statistics and reports if everyone gets 100%. JODY

Some of you have had trouble loading pictures into Quia because the pictures are so big. That has been a problem I've had in the past. You can try to use images from Google Images, although there are often copyright issues with Google's images. Google Images allow you to select large or medium sizes, and if you actually select one of their images, sometimes they offer the picture in different sizes. Give it a try.

If you want to try and use your own pictures from iPhotos on your MAC, you can resize pictures there. Below, I've included a link to a site that shows you how to do that. However, you have to know the size you want in pixels. I know that I like my Quia pictures to be less than 50 KB. But I don't know what I like measured in pixels. You'll have to play around with it. If anyone does, please post here and let us know a good number of pixels to use.
