I put a blog together a few weeks ago to use as a springboard for sharing with our teaching team about Picasa and Picnik. Both Google products but are multi-platform so can be used on PC and Mac and are free. The collages you can create easily in these programmes work well on class pages or blogs or even newsletters.
You can download Picasa from HERE. If you already have Picasa installed there is an update available that puts 'Picnik' in the editing tools part of this rather than only being accessed from online google albums.
And the link to the blog is HERE.
The posts are in no particular order.
I would love to see anything you create using Picasa or Picnik and how you use or could use this with students.
We are in the process of supporting students in Years 1 - 4 to use these programmes for their own photograhpy. What digital photography programmes have you used successfully with students and what do you think made it a successful programme?
Lara you are a champion! I have seen desktops covered in Picasa collages since you ran the techie breakie!
ReplyDeleteWell explained Lara. I have used Picassa but forget each time the steps. It is a great way to display photos on the blogs. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWell done Lara, well explained. This finally got me to post my photos using Picassa.
