As educators, it is important that we model good digital citizenship to our students. One of the ways we do this is by using images that are free from copyright. Pixabay is an excellent site filled with free photos and images to use for any of your classroom needs. The images you can find here are, for the most part, better than the images that you will find on a Google search with the “filtered for reuse” filter applied.
One of our brilliant tech EAs alerted me to the existence of Photopea today – https://www.photopea.com/ – The screen actually looks exactly like Photoshop, and while it lacks a few of the “bells and whistles” of photoshop (keyboard shortcuts, for instance), it would certainly be more than any student not enrolled in 30-level CTS courses would need!!
With the old Windows computers, the utility for printing photos grew familiar throughout the years that people actually did this (printed photos at home). But, printing photos at home is no longer something that -people do, and so this feature is disappearing.
If we can make our peace with the fact that printing photos from a Chromebook is going to be different, then 50% of the frustration evaporates.
You can set your smartphone to upload your camera roll into Google Photos automatically (Personally, I do this with my photos; the space in education accounts is unlimited, and the privacy policy of Google as it pertains to education is solid.). If your smartphone loads photos into your Google Photos account, it means they will be in a folder in your Google Drive (called Google Photos). Running them through this handy little website makes printing them a Breeze.
Here is a screencast I did today of this process.
