This Computing video supports teachers in helping children edit their own photos by first guiding them through the process of saving and accessing image files. It explains how to upload images from digital cameras to Google Drive, create shared folders for each camera or device, and use Google Slides as a space for children to manipulate their photos. The video also covers how to generate and shorten shareable links using tools like Bit.ly so pupils can access their photos without needing their own Gmail accounts.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme of work – videos. It provides clear, practical guidance for setting up a photo-sharing system using Google Drive, even if a school network isn’t available. By showing how to create folder structures and manage permissions, this video helps teachers prepare resources efficiently, enabling pupils to begin editing with ease. In the next lesson, children will build on this by learning how to search for and use copyright-free images online.
