Sweet dreams are made of these...

What are these girls doing out so late,
like the witches in folklore?
If you were to witness so many falling stars,
What would you wish for?

I used Tuxpi Photo Editor to modify the above picture.  I first added text. What text to use? It came to me immediately.  Plus, I've been on a Cosmos kick... I then went to the color and contrast option.

I decided to play around with the brightness, saturation, contrast and hue.  The contrast I used first to accentuate the dark and light, as well as the brightness.  I messed with the saturation but ended up back where I started because I just didn't like the darkness that it pooled in.  I did however change the hue as well to bring back in some of the red undertones but keeping the brightness.

Presentations for teachers would benefit the students in my own community as many have access 

to the different interactive white boards that are available such as the Promethian Board.  

The web is at their fingertips.

Therefore enhancing a multitude of Webinars from PowerPoint presentations to Jeopardy

 games.  This skill could also be passed onto the students as part of presentations they make.  It is critical that our students are exposed to help better prepare them for the future. With jobs leaning more

 heavily on computer skills challenging students to incorporate 

digital graphics will give them the edge to achieve their dreams.
