Thing 8 - Google Photos

Thing 8- Google Photos

I have been meaning to get familiar with Google Photos for awhile now and am happy I did.  Google Photos has many applications, including sharing photos with family and friends, editing photos and video, backing up photos to save space on your device, and much more.

One of the ways I plan to utilize this app in my teaching this year is through our school's yearbook.  Throughout the year my students take hundreds of photos, many of which are taken on their iPads.  If a photo is taken on the iPad it can instantly sync to their Google Photos and will be easily added to eDesign, the online software we use to edit our yearbook.  Google Photos will also be very helpful for sharing photos with my students instantly, allowing them to take the next step in uploading and editing them. 

This is a great app.

Thanks!

  2. It will also help from my end when I need to share photos with the yearbook representatives - we can just have a shared album!

  3. I agree with the others who have responded that using Google photos to organize the hundreds of photos for the yearbook is a genius idea!! The easy sharing, organizing, and editing makes Google Photos a great app!

  4. I'd recommend making various shared photo albums that match the yearbook topics for easy access, but also having one for general photos
