If you do not have Picasa, run to http://picasa.google.com/ and download it. It organized the thousands of pictures I have by folder. It does all the basics such as straighen, crop, color, etc very easily. I took pictures from a 35 year old book and with a few clicks, the images looked as bright as they did many years ago. Adding an embedded caption is a double click and click on caption process. Did I mention it was free!
All of your students can edit their photographs that they took for a project in Science, ELA, Math, Social Studies, Art, Music, PE, Health, Technology, etc. They can move pictures from one folder to another with ease. They can create a slide show with a few clicks. The school cannot complain that it cannot afford good quality photo editing and organizing software when Picasa is available.
On a personal note I have previously uploaded some digital pictures to a website for printing but the pictures were cropped on all sides so I lost the image I wanted. With Picasa, I indicate what size I want such as 4 x6 and the pictures come out exactly the way I want them. Picasso would be proud of such picture art!
