Jon's one-day, two hour Managing your Digital Photos - Refresher course attracted a roll up of six students today. All had attended one of Jon's 5 week MYDP courses previously.
Jon re-visited Picasa, and following a request, delved into managing "people" albums. He explained that Picasa uses facial recognition technology to find and group similar faces together across entire collections of photos, and by adding name tages to these groups of faces, new people albums are created.
Another question on back-up pictures was asked, and Jon explained how to use cloud applications such as One Drive to automatically back-up pictures. He also demonstrated how to easily copy and paste all pics on your camera card directly onto a USB drive, and how to re-name the USB drive.
Student Beryl was so happy, she hugged our Secretary Silvia on the way out!

PICASA REFRESHED BY JON
A few years back at Parramata Computer Pals for Seniors, I did a course on Blogging. Each student had to start a blog, so I made my blog to cover my activites as a volunteer at ComputerPals.
I am the Administrator and am assisted by Margaret who is an Author so that she can also post items on our ComputerPals Blog. Any stories, photos, etc of our ComputerPals activities are always welcome, just contact John or Margaret as we are always looking for content relating to our volunteer activities at Parramatta Computer Pals for Seniors
