Zoo pictures

"My child took pictures at the zoo and now says they are supposed to do something with them? Help?"

Thank you to everyone who sent a camera/device for their student to use.  Finding animals within ecosystems and taking photos for science helped enrich the field trip, but now for the information about what to do with those photos...

Preferred Option:

It would be very helpful if you would be able to download them into your child's Google Drive.  Here are some helpful tips on how to do this:

1) Your student will need to log in to their Google account (just go to www.google.com and click sign-in in the top right corner).  They should know their username and password (same as what they use for Chromebooks).

2) Go to Google Drive (you are now logged in to the Google platform) and I would recommend creating a new folder (Create --> folder) and naming it something like Zoo Pictures.

3) Once you are in this folder click on the little up arrow next to the "Create" button.  This is the upload button where you can select file or folder and access individual files or folders on your device, select, and "open" to download them into Drive. 

You can select more than one file at once by holding down the shift key while clicking files to use and then "opening" them all at once into Google Drive.

2nd Option:

Send your child to school with their device, preferably on Wednesday, (with any USB cords necessary) and I or Mr. Fishburn can help them move their pictures to the correct location.

3rd Option
Email the photos to me, and I can forward them on to the students and we can get them into Google Drive.


If your child shared a device with someone, once we get their photos into their Google Drive, it will be very easy to share them with your child.  If something happens that we cannot get your students photos, it will not effect their grade; it might just mean a little extra work and being resourceful to get what we need from others.
