Tenn-Share Learn and Discover - Week 2 - Photos - share, edit, and print!
Abby wants options. She has both a 35mm camera and a digital camera. She wants privacy online, but she wants to share her photos with her friends and family.
Benjamin wants options. He loves his digital camera, but he's no professional. His dog and his sister end up with "red-eye" in almost every shot he takes. Plus he has a creative streak and would love to express it easily in more of his photos.
Cassandra wants options. She has been taking photos for years, but is just now getting into the new tools that help fix clustered backgrounds and attach tags to her published works.
How can Web 2.0 help our friends?
After she scans her printed photos into digital form, Abby can share both kinds of images with whomever she likes, using the following services, which provide easily adaptable passwords and options for viewing limits. Since she is a reference librarian, she can also use these services to promote programs, like her library's annual teen "Murder Mystery Play" event.
She could try:
Flickr | Picasa | Photobucket | Snapfish
Benjamin can easily fix that "red-eye" and other photo touch-ups by checking out some of the following sites, without paying for expensive photo editing software. Plus, he can add special effects, like sepia tones to turn his sister into the Old West cowgirl for the summer reading program.
He could try:
Picnik | Fotoflexer
Although Cassandra has used Picasa and Flickr before, she still wants to do fun things like adding speech bubbles, rounding the corners of her photos, and resizing images to decorate posters.
She could try:
For Speech Bubbles: Superlame.com ; Kyolo.com
For Rounded corners: roundpic.com
For Resizing Pictures: resize2mail.com ; resizepic.com ; shinkpictures.com
For a few more complex editing tools: Paint.net , GIMP , pixlr
And any of our new friends could create accounts at the following photo sharing sites to order prints of their digital creations. When you want to send prints to someone, all you have to do is login and tell the site where to mail them. Some photo processing centers also offer online photo albums. For instance, if Abbby used the Walgreens photo sharing site she could go to walgreens.com, order photos, and specify which store would print them. Benjamin could pick up the photos that same afternoon!
Our friends could try:
Snapfish | Shutterfly | KodakGallery | Walgreens

| Photos Activity: 1. Pick ONE photo web app to try out. You may need to create an account. 2. You can use your own photo if you have one saved to your computer. Or, you can save one of our sample images (above) to your desktop. 3. Upload the picture to a photo sharing site where you can log in and see it. Or use a photo-editing site to adjust the picture (crop it, resize it, etc.), then save it to your computer. 4. Share the picture on Ning in the photos area! Care to share your photos? Do you have any questions? Discuss them in the Photos Forum. |
