EASY PHOTO AND VIDEO SHARING

In this workshop we’ll cover using email and Facebook to share your photos and files. First up, we’ll look at how to attach files to your emails. Second, we’ll look at how you can use your Facebook account (if you have one) to upload individual photos and entire photo albums to the web, for viewing by anybody on your friends list – or in the world, if you choose. The internet is a great place to share the photos and videos you’ve taken – and to see the videos and photos other people have taken. The shared photos and videos can be seen instantly and from anywhere, with no travelling, mailing or photo albums required. You can share media with just your family, or with the whole world.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

When you need a quick, cheap and easy way to share photos and videos directly with a few people, or a way to display loads of photos at the one place so that everyone you know can view them, this workshop has the answers. Alternatively, you may already have a Facebook account and email address and want to learn how – and when – to make the most of them to share photos, video and other files.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

An internet-connected laptop or desktop computer; either your own or supplied by the workshop organisers. You may need to share a computer with others in the workshop. An email account; either the Gmail account set up in our Introduction to Email Part 1 workshop, or another existing email account. A Facebook account. If you don’t have one, the Introduction to Social Media Part 2 workshop outlines how to create one. Saved photos and videos to share.
