Managing Photo and Video files on computer

Teachers wanting to prepare and make resources for their computer presentations need basic skills for managing photos and videos. This practical course provides teachers with the skills and software to gain competence and confidence.

I can run the course as day or half day courses or as a series of twilight courses. For example, we could spend a morning on photos and the afternoon on videos, or as a day each in their own right.

• finding and copying files from the web – screen capture software
