This Computing video supports teachers in leading a creative lesson where pupils learn how to download their photographs from Google Drive and enhance them by adding props or objects using Google Slides. Building on the previous lesson where images were saved online, this session enables children to access their photos independently, select their favourites, and begin simple photo editing by incorporating clipart-style elements like trees or hats. This introduces them to the idea of image manipulation in a purposeful and age-appropriate way.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme of work – videos. It provides practical guidance for using tools such as the Explore function in Google Slides, helping teachers demonstrate a streamlined way to search and insert PNG images without switching tabs. With support for downloading, dragging images, and resizing objects, this lesson builds pupils’ digital editing skills while encouraging creativity and collaboration. It prepares children for the next step—creating a photo collage from their edited images.
