Picasa for Administrators

School administrators are looking to Google Apps for their student and staff email and file storage. With a no, or low, cost price tag, plenty of support, and student familiarity with Google Apps outside of school, administrations see the benefit to classrooms, and students.

One of tools included with a student Google Apps account is Picasa, a great photo management application. With Picasa, administrators can organize all of the photos on their computer into one nicely layed-out interface and then edit, customize, and share photos with colleagues, central office, parents, or students.

Administrators can easily create special picture slideshows for staff meetings, movies for PTO gatherings, or fun project advertisements on the school website for visitors. No matter what the application, Picasa can make pictures tell stories and aid learning.
