  • Picasa Getting Started Guide
    Picasa Getting Started Guide Picasa is free photo management software from Google that helps you find, edit and share your photos in seconds. We recommend that you print out this brief overview of Picasa's main features and consult it as you use the program for the first time to learn about new features quickly. Organize Once you start Picasa, it scans your hard drive to find and automatically organize all your photos. Picasa finds the following photo and movie file types: • Photo file types: JPG, GIF, TIF, PSD, PNG, BMP, RAW (including NEF and CRW). GIF and PNG files are not scanned by default, but you can enable them in the Tools > Options dialog. • Movie file types: MPG, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV. If you are upgrading from an older version of Picasa, you will likely want to keep your existing database, which contains any organization and photo edits you have made. To transfer all this information, simply install Picasa without uninstalling Picasa already on your computer. On your first launch of Picasa you will be prompted to transfer your existing database. After this process is complete, you can uninstall Picasa. Library view Picasa automatically organizes all your photo and movie files into collections of folders inside its main Library view. Layout of main Library screen: Picasa Getting Started Guide Page 1 of 9 Folder list The left-hand list in Picasa's Library view shows all the folders containing photos on your computer and all the albums you've created in Picasa.

    Intermediate Training The material in this handout is taken directly from the Picasa Website. It was decided to add all the information in one place so it could be viewed at one time. However, what is in this handout is a small part of all the help available on the Picasa website (http://picasa.google.com/support/) Also, not everyone has access to the internet. Below is the outline for the Picasa Intermediate Training. A. Organize your Photos a. Create Albums b. Using the Picture Tray c. Searching for a Photo d. Adding and Removing Folders e.

Emailing Photos g. Creating and Exporting a Poster h. Collages i. Export your Photos j. Backing Up and Saving 1 Organizing your Photos What are folders and albums? Albums are virtual groupings of photos that only exist in Picasa. Like a playlist, you can create combinations of any photos in an album or use a single image in multiple albums, all without using extra space on your hard drive. Plus, if you delete photos in an album, or if you delete whole albums, your original photo files will be untouched. Picasa folders show you exactly how your photo files are arranged in the folders on your hard drive. This way, you can organize and manage photos on your hard drive using folders in Picasa. For example, moving a photo between folders in Picasa will result in the photo being moved between the same folders on your hard drive.

  • APPLE Vs. ANDROID Apple Has Built in Some Parental Controls in The
    APPLE vs. ANDROID Apple has built in some parental controls in the actual iOS phones system (i.e. ability to set restrictions on what apps can be downloaded or what websites can be visited, settings passcodes to prevent kids from circumventing restrictions you set, syncing your phone and your children’s iPhones/Apple devices together by putting them on the same Apple account, keeping track of child’s location, etc.). Basically, Apple gives you boxed control over your Apple devices with your Apple account. Android does not have those built in features, so some people feel it’s harder for parents to monitor their teens Android devices; however, you can upload apps to your child’s Android device to make it more secure and to let you have control over the device like an Apple device would, you just have to download them. The recommendations I have seen have all recommended downloading a monitoring device such as Disney Cirlce or Mobicip, as we discussed in the training. But specifically, I saw strong recommendations for the use of Net Nanny, Norton Family Premier and Kaspersky Safe Kids. Tom’s Guide recommends these for the level of control they provide to parents of kids with Android devices and says that each product “offer different levels of control, but for the most part you can expect to impose time limits (including a curfew when it's time for your child to go to bed), block individual callers and texters, quickly revise app usage and — most important — get reports on how your child is using the phone.” In addition, Google has also recently introduced Family Link which gives parents more control over their child’s Android devices – screen time, time of day controls, and apps downloads.

Open the Google Play store, then tap the three horizontal bars at the left of the search bar. Tap the gear to go to the settings, then tap ‘Require authentication for purchase’.
