KCI Davis Summit

The photos we shoot on our phones have been great at documenting our lives but also created a problem… what to do with all these images. Well, Google is here to help! This session will demonstrate 10 ways in which Photos can change the way you manage, use and even how you think of photos. The abundance of photos in our lives is wonderful as we will have so much of our daily lives documented. But these sheer number or photos have made finding the ones you want near impossible. This session will show you how Google Photos has changed all of that. Teachers will then learn how to use Google Photos to create Albums, Movies, Slideshows and Books for all those occasions at school where we want to promote and celebrate that makes our school incredible places.

Come have some fun with your photos with editing, manipulating and utilizing them for other projects. We will explore with some sites that utilizes photos (your own or downloaded) through some hands on fun!
