Adding a photo from your school computer

Filed under: Literacy, Technology, creative commons, images, improving — Miss W. @ 12:16 pm

Many students are now taking photos in class and wanting to upload these to their blog.  They have taken part in the marine centre trip, or been to the yo-yo exhibition or have taken a photo of their Hatchet map.

Well here are the steps to follow:

  1. Begin a new post and do all the writing first.
  2. Decide where you want to put in the photo and whether you want it to be on the left or right of the post or maybe in the centre.
  3. Find your photo by clicking on Add media> add an image.
  4. Choose files to upload from computer - make sure your image is going to be the right way up as you can’t adjust the direction once the image is uploaded.
  5. Copy the link URL.
  6. Save all changes and close the upload window.
  7. Click on green tree.
  8. Paste in the URL you had copied, align your picture and put 5 in vertical and horizontal then insert.
  9. Now you click on the photo and adjust the size using the corners.

You have now uploaded a photo from your school computer.

  1. Hi Miss W,
    What fabulous work you are doing with your students. Their blogs are impressive and something to aspire to. I hope to get up and running in September-October with my new group of grade 6’s, and we will be visiting for sure.
    I tried to post to Choc’s blog but got caught in a loop (which may have been co-comments fault. I don’t think the post was ever submitted–or if it was, it may have come as an avalanche! Could you pass this on to Choc for me?
    “Hi Choc,
    1000 stamps–wow that’s impressive! I was going to say I am not a collector, but I guess I am. I like to quilt, so I have A LOT of fabric. It’s probably not as much fun as other types of collecting, though.
    I really like the way you ask your readers questions. An earlier one was about travel. I live in Canada, and I have been to many other countries, including Australia (we sailed into Darwin in 2004–boy, it was hot!).
    Good luck with your blog–keep writing!”
