I’m not quite sure where editing and publishing photos comes under my job description, probably under devlopment of the website, improved communication enabled by ICT and better use of technology. Plus, I really enjoy it!
Today was the slight rush of handling photos from the year 11 prom – thanks to Jane & others for all the hard work in putting the evening on, and thanks to Jane & Diane for the photos. A recieved almost a dozen emails from students asking when some pictures would be available for them to view.
Things which make my editing and publishing images a lot easier
- Simple Viewer, the free, Flash gallery as mentioned on day 9
- Picasa, the free Google app for editing and managing photos
- Yahoo Widgets, the great gadgets which display the photos in our school reception
One future improvement is to make photographic equipment, software and training more widely available to staff and students. In the path I’ve had wonderful assistance from Amy, Rosie, Grace and Dominika. It would be great to give more people opportunity to not nly take images but also edit and publish them themselves.
One question to solve will be how do we protect students from inappropriate use of their images while also encouraging more people to take the role of photographer, editor and publisher. More another day I’m sure.
Oh, and here are some of the images we’ve taken at school. You’ll need to register for an account on the school website.
