how do I "bring in" my digital photos?
When I say "bring in" your photos, I mean that you will need to be able to access them and open them on your computer here in class. There are several ways you can bring in photos, such as:
- Save them to a flash drive/ USB stick, which you can attach to the computer here.
- E-mail them to yourself (to your own e-mail), so that you can open them in your e-mail here.
- Save them to your GOOGLE DRIVE. (SUGGESTED METHOD!)
- NOTE: HAVING YOUR PHOTOS ON YOUR PHONE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. THEY NEED TO BE ACCESSIBLE ON OUR COMPUTERS!
HOW DO I SAVE THEM TO GOOGLE DRIVE?
- Go to http://google.com/drive
- Log-in to your drive.
- Your log-in is the e-mail you use to log-in to Chromebooks, your first initial, last name, graduation year, followed by @pointpleasant.k12.nj.us
- Your log-in is the e-mail you use to log-in to Chromebooks, your first initial, last name, graduation year, followed by @pointpleasant.k12.nj.us
