Add your picture if you want! Use one of the still cameras on my desk. To copy the picture from the camera to the computer, remove the memory card and insert it into the SD slot on front of your computer.

For directions in removing the card and inserting it into the computer, click here.

  Congratulations!! Your Wordle Poster should be complete! This is a great way to tell the world about you!
